Which number between 1 and 100 can you make in th most ways by multiplying two whole numbers?

Answer 1

Make a diagram with numbers 1 through 100 on the vertical side, aswell as the horistontal side. Count out what the multiplies make. Then you'll be able to easily see what number is made the most times.

Example:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

2. 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

3. 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30

4. 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40

5. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50

6. 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60

7. 7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 70

8. 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80

9. 9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90

10. 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

(This was supposed to line up nicely, but that function is not possible here, so it's a little messy, but you get the point).

Answer 2

100
