Prime numbers only have two factors {1 and itself}
eg
2 has {1,2}
3 has {1, 3}
5 has {1, 5}
Some numbers have an odd number of factors:
1 only has one factor {1}4 has {1, 2, 4}9 has three factors {1, 3, 9}
Can you find any other numbers with an odd number of factors?
What do these numbers have in common?
