It is impossible to determine what number has the most factors because there are an infinite number of numbers.
Of the numbers up to 50, 48 has the most factors.
Prime numbers only have two factors, one and the number itself.
Of the numbers up to 50, 48 has the most factors because none of the others have more.
There are four odd numbers less that 100 that have 6 factor. This does not compare with even numbers that have 12 factors!
Unless you have choices to give us, there is no rational answer to this problem. Since numbers don't stop, numbers of factors don't stop either.
That question doesn't have a definitive answer unless you're talking about a specific set of numbers. Since numbers don't stop, there will always be a number with more factors than the largest one you can think of.
The numbers 60, 72, 84, 90, and 96 each have 12 factors.
It is one of 5 numbers.
The most factors any odd number less than 100 has is 6. There are 4 numbers which have 6 factors:45, 63, 75 & 99.
I wrote out all the factors of all the numbers from 1 to 100 and counted them.
30 has 8 factors (including itself).
