What number less than 100 has the most prime factors?

Answer 1

89

Answer 2

It depends on how you interpret "most prime factors". You can multiply the smallest prime until the next multiple would be greater than 100. So, 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64, but substituting the final 2 for a 3 is also less than 100 because 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 96. If you are considering different prime factors, multiply the primes starting with the lowest until the next number would be greater than 100. (The lowest primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19.) So, 2 x 3 x 5 = 30. This is so low, you can try substituting in other low primes. 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 and 2 x 3 x 11 = 66 and 2 x 3 x 13 = 78 and 2 x 5 x 7 = 70.

Answer 3

The number 90 has the most prime factors less than 100. It has a total of 4 prime factors: 2, 3, 3, and 5. The prime factorization of 90 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5. No other number less than 100 has more prime factors than 90.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the math questions! So, like, the number less than 100 with the most prime factors is 60. It's got like, 12 prime factors, which is pretty impressive for a number, you know? So yeah, 60 takes the cake in the prime factor department among the numbers under 100.

Answer 5

Well, honey, the number 90 takes the cake on this one. It has a whopping 12 prime factors, making it the star of the show when it comes to numbers less than 100. So, if you're looking for a prime factor party, 90 is where it's at.
