Odd. I determined my answer by looking at the number of factors of a square number.
It's a perfect square.
An odd number.
A perfect square has an odd number of factors.
When the number is a square of a prime number. Of course, it will have a repeated factor, but it will still only have 3 distinct factors. 4, 9, 25, 49, 121 are some examples.
14
It's a perfect square.
A perfect square has an odd number of distinct factors, because two of its factors are the same number.
An odd number.
Seven distinct factors.
First of all, to know if a number is abundant, deficient, or perfect, you need to know all the factors of your given number. The factors of 28 are 1,2,4,7,14, and 28. Add your proper factors -or the factors except itself- and determine if the sum of the proper factors is below (deficient), above (abundant), or the exact same amount (perfect). In this case, if you add the proper factors, it equals exactly 28. Because it is exact, it is perfect! =)
A composite number is a number that is not a prime number, ie it has more than two distinct factors. The factors of 25 are 1, 5, 25 - three distinct factors.
Nine factors.
A perfect number is a number that is the sum of all its proper factors (that is all its factors excluding itself). The next perfect number after 28 is 496
The difference is one.
A prime number is a whole number that has only two distinct factors: 1 and the number itself. A composite number has at least three distinct factors.
A perfect square has an odd number of factors. Factors of numbers always come in pairs -- except for perfect squares. Since the square root of a perfect square is listed only once on the list of factors, it results in a list with an odd number of factors.
