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.
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
Movable pully
The method to calculate mechanical advantage is easy to remember and is necessary when rigging the assembly to accomplish the job. The mechanical advantage of a rigging that will require upward pull can be determined by counting the number of rope lengths running between engaged pulleys and those doing the work. Likewise, if the assembly will require downward pull, count the ropes and subtract one to get the mechanical advantage number. The subtraction is necessary because with the fixed pulley, the downward pull equals the load on the other length of rope so the last "pull" rope does not provide any mechanical advantage.
