Rishipoddar, are you sure? Can you list the 13 factors that you are using? Interpreting "exactly 13 factors" to mean that the factors are unique, the number has to be the product of 1 and the first 11 prime numbers starting with 2, unless I am making a serious error. The product of these 12 factors is then the 13th factor. I calculate 200560490130. The factors are 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 and the number itself, the product of the previous 12 factors.

The number you offer uses 2 as a factor ten times (2 to the 10th power), 3 as a factor 5 times (3 to the 5th power), and 5 as a factor 2 times (5 squared). Then the numbers 7, 11 and 13 are each used once. If that is allowed, then the actual answer is 1 (one), simply the use of 1 as a factor 13 times. Or if 1 is not allowed, then the answer could be 2 to the power 13: 8192. It is possible that I do not understand the question.

I vote for 212 =4096 , factors are 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048,and 4096.
