Every number has 1 as a factor.
6 and 9 are not factors of 1 as they are both greater than 1 and all factors of a number are less than or equal to the number.
The least whole number with 6 and 9 as factors is the lowest common multiple of 6 and 9
lcm(6, 9) = 18
6 = 2 × 3
9 = 3²
→ Lcm = 2 × 3² = 18
Since 3 is prime, the factors are 1 and 3.

smallest possible whole number is 6500
12 is the smallest whole number that gives a remainder of 4 when it is divided by 8.
I think that it is 4

5 and 11
The factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4 .
1 is the smallest whole number
Since 3 is prime, the factors are 1 and 3.

The smallest whole number is one.
That sounds like a composite number - a number that is not a prime number. The smallest such number is 4.
The smallest 2 digit whole number is 10 The smallest 2 digit odd whole number is 11
There is no smallest whole number. Assume that k is the smallest whole number.Consider (k-1).It is smaller than k and it is a whole number.This contradicts the assumption that k is the smallest whole number.Such a number does not exist.
The smallest four digit whole number is 1000.
