There isn't any, and it is quite simple to prove that.

Suppose there is a number with the most factors and suppose that number is X.

Now consider Y = 2*X.

Y has all the factors of X and it has another factor, which is 2. So Y has more factors than X. This contradicts the statement that X has the most factors. Therefore, there is no number with the most factors.
