Option 2 : Number of factors of a given number is always countable. 

A mathematical statement is a rule or generalization in mathematics that is further used as a starting point for the other concepts related to it. A number of factors of a given number are always countable is the best example of a precise mathematical statement because:

  • Every number in mathematics has a limited number of factors and it can be counted.
  • For example, 12 has factors like 2,3,4,12, and 1 which are countable and limited.
  • Factors of any number can be found through the factorization method which means dividing the big number till no more division is possible.
  • For example if we take 20 we start by diving by 2 and the again by 2 then by 5 now 1 is remaining and we can't divide it further.
  • Here we stop and count the factors.

Hence number of factors of a given number is always countable is the best example of a precise mathematical statement.

On the other hand all the other given statements are not precise because they are not exact and totally true to be accepted as a correct mathematical statement.
