1 has the least factors.
Square numbers have an odd number of factors. Other numbers have an even number of factors. The squares between 12 and 40 include 16, 25, and 36. If the number has only three factors, it must be the square of a prime number, since two of the factors will be 1 and itself, so if there is only one more factor, this third number cannot have factors itself. This means the number must be 25, whose factors are 1, 5, and 25. Response: 24 has (at least) three factors - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 .
These numbers between 1 and 40 have an odd number of factors: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36.
24 has the most factors of all the numbers between 1 and 25. The 8 factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.
1, 5, 25 are the only factors of 25. So, there are 3 factors of 25. Note: We only care about POSITIVE INTEGERS.
1 has the least factors.
A composite number is a number that has at least 3 factors. (It can be evenly divided by at least 3 number.) 25 has 3 factors: 1, 5, and 25.

25 it's factors are 1, 5,and 25. That's a number between 12 and 40 that has only 3 factors
25 does.

The numbers between 10 and 30 that have exactly 5 factors are 16 and 25. The number 16 has factors 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The number 25 has factors 1, 5, 25, but since it is a perfect square, it also includes the repeated factor of 5. These are the only two numbers between 10 and 30 that have exactly 5 factors.

These numbers between 1 and 40 have an odd number of factors: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36.
Least common denominator: the smallest multiple or factor that is exactly divisible by every member of a set of numbers. Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25 Factors of 30: 1,3,5,10,30 Shared factors of 25 and 30: 1,5 Therefore, the least common denominator would be 1 because it is the smallest factor shared between the two numbers.
