Perfect squares have an odd number of factors. If f is a factor of N, then so is N/f. (For example, 3 is a factor of 30, and so is 10). Thus, it seems factors come in pairs, and there should always be an even number of them. But if f = N/f, then these two factors are the same, resulting in an odd number of factors. For example, 3 is a factor of 9, and it's "mate" is also 3. So for the numbers with an odd number of factors, there is some f where f=N/f. Multiplying both sides by f, we have f^2 = N. So this happens when N is a perfect square.
For moderately large numbers, N, you can try dividing by prime numbers up to the square root of N. Each time you find a factor, f, you replace N by N/f, and continue with primes from f onwards. However, this method is impractical for really large numbers: ones that are the product of two primes, each a hundred digits long, for example. And that is why such numbers are used for encryption (codes).
F-stop numbers are the numbers used to measure aperture (the amount of light entering the camera). Because f-stop numbers are actually fractions, the larger the f-stop number, the less light is entering the camera.
Take each number in turn, call it "n", and check whether it has any factors f, such that 1 < f < n. If it doesn't, it is a prime number.Take each number in turn, call it "n", and check whether it has any factors f, such that 1 < f < n.

The common factors are: 1, 3.
The numbers on a diaphragm represent the aperture or f-stop settings available on the lens. These numbers control the size of the lens opening, with lower numbers (e.g. f/2.8) indicating a larger opening for more light to enter, and higher numbers (e.g. f/16) indicating a smaller opening for less light.
