What are two examples of a type of number that has an odd number factor?
There are square numbers (numbers which are a square of an integer), such as 4. It's factors, listed are 1, 2, and 4. All square numbers have an odd number of factors. Then there's 1, which has only 1 factor: 1. All other numbers have an even number of factors. Prime numbers will have only 2 factors (2 is even).
A square number is a number?
yes because square numbers have to be hole numbers to be square
Why do all numbers that aren't square numbers have an even number of factors?
Suppose you have a number n which is not a square. Suppose now that a is a factor of n ie there is some integer b, such that a*b = n. Now since n is not a square, b is not the same as a. Thus for every factor a, there is another factor b ie the factors come in pairs. Therefore, there are an even number of factors.
What number is a square number but not a prime number and is less than 100?
No square number is a prime number, since it has the number you squared as a factor. There are several square numbers less than 100. Just calculate the squares of all numbers, starting with 1, until you reach or pass 100. Then stop.
Why is the number 2 a factor number?
All numbers can be factors.
