All numbers that are the square of primes have exactly 3 factors.
they are called numbers with 3 factors
The answer depends on what the numbers have more of when 3 factors!
Each of their square roots are prime numbers and each have only 3 factors
The way to be sure you have one of these is to take any three distinct prime numbers and multiply them. Those three prime numbers are then the only factors the product can have. An example is the number 30, which has factors of 2, 3 and 5.
The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. The only square number of those numbers is 9.
A number has exactly three factors if and only if it is the square of a prime number.
Numbers with 3 or 5 factors are called square numbers.
All numbers that are the square of primes have exactly 3 factors.
No. 81=9*9=3*27=1*81 81 has 5 factors and is a square number. 36=6*6=3*12=1*36=2*18=4*9 36 has 9 factors and is a square number. This doesn't mean that no square numbers have exactly 3 factors though, because: 9=3*3=1*9 9 has 3 factors and is a square number. 4=2*2=1*4 4 has 3 factors and is a square number. All square numbers have an odd number of factors though (because they have a whole number which multiplies by itself to get the number). Factors are whole numbers only, and not decimals. Hope this helps :)
Okay, whoever said that a number can only have an even number of factors IS Wrong Take a prime number and square it. If you square a prime number, the number you get will only have 3 factors. For example, if I squared the number 3, I would get 9. 9 only has three factors: 9, 3, 1 Any prime number squared has Three factors.

Square numbers have odd numbers of factors.
Those would be the squares of prime numbers: 22, 32, 52, etc.
Each of their square roots are prime numbers and each have only 3 factors
By definition, a prime number only has two factors - 1 and itself. For example, 13 only has 2 factors - 1 and 13. A square number (x2) has the factor x. For example, 9 has the factors 1, 9, and 3. The only way that a square number could possibly be prime is if x=1.
