64: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
Tip: To find the number, consider that if there are an odd number of factors, the number must be a perfect square, because a perfect square has one factor that is multiplied by itself. 64: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

Is 78 a composite number?
Yes, 78 is a composite number. A composite number is a positive integer that has more than two distinct positive divisors. In the case of 78, it has divisors other than 1 and itself, such as 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, and 39.
What are least common multiple of the number 32?
None. The LCM (least common multiple) is the smallest positive whole number exactly divisible by two or more whole numbers.
What numbers have exactly 3 divisors?
An integer (call it 'x') has exactly 3 divisors if and only if it is the square of a prime number. In other words, to generate a list of integers with exactly 3 divisors, just keep squaring prime numbers. A number with 3 divisors cannot be prime (a prime number has only 2 divisors, 1 and itself). So it must be a composite number, which is a number that can be factored as a product of prime numbers (Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic) -- i.e. a composite number must have at least one prime divisor. In the case where the number has only 3 divisors, two of them are 1 and the number itself (neither of which are prime). Therefore the third divisor must be a prime number. So the three divisors of 'x' are: 1, p, x where p is prime. Now since p is a divisor (or factor) of x, and the only other divisor besides 1 and x itself, x must equal p*p -- or x=p^2 . Obvious x can't equal p*x and if x = p*1, x=p so x is prime, or has only 2 divisors... If x = p^(3) , then x = p*p* p , or p*(p^2) ... this means that p^2 would also have to be a divisor of x, and this would contradict with x having only 3 divisors. For the same reason, x = p^(greater than 3) is also not possible. So the only possibility is that an integer with exactly 3 divisors is the square of a prime number "p". The divisors are 1, p, and p^2. I'm sure there's a simpler, more elegant way of explaining this, but it should be clear enough.
What is the least common multiple of seven eighths?
None. The LCM (least common multiple) is the smallest positive whole number exactly divisible by two or more wholenumbers.
What are characteristics of least common multiple?
The LCM (least common multiple) is the smallest positive whole number exactly divisible by two or more given whole numbers.
