104060401 = 10 1 4 104060401 = 101^4 which has 005 \boxed{005} factors. To notice this factorization, observe that the numbers: 1,4,6,4,1 are part of pascal's triangle, and are formed by the powers of 11. Since there are zero's, this becomes 101^4 instead of 11^4 (which produces 14641 instead of 104060401).
