==Examples==
*The number 20 has four multiplicative partitions: 2 × 2 × 5, 2 × 10, 4 × 5, and 20.
*3&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;3, 3&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;9, 3&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;27, 9&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;9, and 81 are the five multiplicative permutationspartitions of 81 = 3<sup>4</sup>. Because it is the fourth power of a [[prime number|prime]], 81 has the same number (five) of multiplicative partitions as 4 does of [[partition (number theory)|additive partitions]].
*The number 30 has five multiplicative partitions: 2&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;5 = 2&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;15 = 6&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;5 = 3&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;10 = 30.
*In general, the number of multiplicative partitions of a [[Square-free integer|squarefree]] number with '''i''' prime factors is the ith [[Bell number]] , B<sub>i</sub>.
