There are 9 integers less than 100 that have an odd number of factors.

Every factor of a number has a pair, eg 2 & 3 are a factor pair of 6; and so it would be expected that every number has an even number of factors.

However, if the factor pair of a number are the same number (eg 6 & 6 are a factor pair of 36), then there will be an odd number of factors.

When there is a repeated factor like this, the number is a perfect square.

Thus only perfect squares have an odd number of factors.

Less than 100 there are 9 perfect squares (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 & 81) which have an odd number of factors.

100 itself is a perfect square and also has an odd number of factors, but the question asked for those numbers less than 100 with an odd number of factors.

How many positive integers less than 2008 have an even number of divisors?

There are 1,963 such integers. Every factor of a number has a pair. The only time there will be an odd number of factors is if one factor is repeated, ie the number is a perfect square. So the question is really asking: how many positive integers less than 2008 (in the range 1 to 2007) are not perfect squares. √2007 = 44 and a bit (it lies between 44 and 45) So there are 44 integers less than (or equal to) 2007 which are perfect squares → 2007 - 44 = 1963 integers are not perfect squares in the range 1-2007 and have an even number of factors (divisors).
