It depends on the number that it is a perfect square of!
If you mean 'prime' factors, then an odd number of them CAN'T produce a perfect square. Consider 3 factors ... A, B, and C. If their product were a perfect square, then AxB=C, which can't be true if C is a prime number. For non-prime factors, an odd number of them may or may not be a perfect square: Three factors = not a square: 2 x 3 x 5 = 30. Three factors = a square: 2 x 3 x 6 = 36.
The same number is multiplied with itself to form a perfect square i.e. a perfect square has real and repeated equal numbers as factors.
You can tell whether a number is a square number by looking at the last digit. A perfect square number ends with either 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 00.
The number 16 has an odd number of factors because it is a perfect square. When a number is a perfect square, it has an odd number of factors because each factor can be paired with another factor that is the square root of the number. In the case of 16, its factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16, which can be paired as (1, 16), (2, 8), and (4). This results in an odd number of factors.

A perfect square has an odd number of factors.
A perfect square has an odd number of factors. Factors of numbers always come in pairs -- except for perfect squares. Since the square root of a perfect square is listed only once on the list of factors, it results in a list with an odd number of factors.
