30
The smallest positive integer with exactly 12 factors is 60.You may check to see that 60 has exactly twelve factors, by noting the following:60 = 1 X 60 = 2 X 30 = 3 x 20 = 4 X 15 = 5 x 12 = 6 x 10. The factors that are less than 8 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; the factors that are more than 8 are obtained by dividing the six factors already found into 60.Any number less than 60 must have six numbers less than 8 that divide into it, in order to have exactly twelve divisors. In fact, the requirement is more stringent than that: for a number (n, say) to have exactly twelve divisors, six of them must be less than the square-root of n. That you won't be able to find any is borne out by the fact that the least common multiple of any 6 of the first seven integers must be at least as great as the l. c. m. of the first six positive integers, namely 60.
The answer is 48illustration:833 is a multiple of 49 which is more than 832the multiple which is immediately less than 833 is 784so the difference that must be subtracted is 832- 784 = 48

Any number less than 3.
any negative number is less than zero
It is 30.

It's a multiple of 5, a multiple of 6 (since it's between twin primes), and less than 50. The only possibility is 30. To check: The factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, and 30
The smallest number that has exactly three factors is 4.
24
The square of any prime number has exactly three factors: 22, 32, 52, etc.
By definition, a prime number has exactly two factors. So, there are no prime numbers with exactly three factors.

49 has exactly 3 factors (1, 7, and 49) and is greater than 40 and less than 60.
3*5*7*9 = 945 ...check if any number less than that has exactly four distinct factors.
