There is no such number. No matter how high you go, there will always be another larger number with more factors.
Let's say you take the number 101. This is a Prime number, so its prime factorization is 101 = 1 * 101
Now let's look for a number with an additional prime factor. In order to do this, we multiple 101 by the smallest prime number: 2
101 * 2 = 202
This new number now has two prime factors: 2 and 101
If we keep multiplying our numbers by 2, we will keep getting one more prime factor each time. This will continue as our number approaches infinity.
120
100
the number 90 has the most factors under 100
1
I wrote out all the factors of all the numbers from 1 to 100 and counted them.
60,72,84,90 and 96 each have twelve factors.
96 is the greatest number under 100 to have the most factors. Factors for 96 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 96
In that range, 180 has the most.
No number under 100 has thirteen factors.
techincally 0 has the most factors. you can multiply any number you want by 0 to get 0 0x101=0 0x100=0 0x99=0 0x98=0 etc... the factors of 100 are limited to only 9 factors. 1x100=100 2x50=100 4x25=100 5x20=100 10x10=100
60, 72, 84, 90 and 96 each have 12 factors.
60 has more factors than 100 does.
