It has more than two factors.
If you mean 2, 3 and 7 as factors then the smallest number is 42
Factors of 6 1,2,3,6 Factors of 3 1,3 (this mean that 3 is a prime number)
1 1,2 1,3 1,2,4 1,2,3,6 1,2,3,4,6,12
That means if you multiply 3 and m together, you will get the number. Suppose the number is 24. Then you know that m = 8.
