for one movable pulley you would get a mechanical advantage of 2

I think what you want is the "mechanical advantage". It's 2 .
To calculate the mechanical advantage of a movable pulley system, you divide the load force by the effort force. The formula is MA = Load Force / Effort Force. The mechanical advantage of a movable pulley is always 2 because the effort force is half the load force when using a system with a movable pulley.
The simple pulley is the type of pulley that does not have a mechanical advantage.
I do believe it is equal to the number of ropes you have.
The three types of pulleys are fixed pulleys, movable (or movable) pulleys, and compound pulleys. Fixed pulleys change the direction of the force applied, movable pulleys provide a mechanical advantage by reducing the force needed, and compound pulleys combine fixed and movable pulleys for increased mechanical advantage.
The formula to calculate the mechanical advantage of a pulley system is MA 2 number of movable pulleys.
To achieve a mechanical advantage of 3 using pulleys, you can use a combination of fixed and movable pulleys. One common arrangement is to have one fixed pulley and one movable pulley. In this setup, the load is attached to the movable pulley, which is supported by a fixed pulley above it. The user would pull down on the rope, effectively distributing the weight of the load over three segments of rope, resulting in a mechanical advantage of 3.
The kind of pulley has an ideal machanical advantage of 2 is called "Movable Pulley". From, Bryan Hollick
Depending on the type of pulley system you have (Fixed/ movable/ combined pulley) using either of these will give you mechanical advantage. The different pulley types are designed to even the weight of the object your pulled out, this will enable you to lift heavier objects with a lighter pull
