What are two numbers less than 20 but has more factors
well 20 = 2*2*5
16 = 2*2*2*2
If there are others I do not know of them
there are others with three like'
12 = 2*2*3
18 = 3*3*2
8 =2*2*2
is -16 legit? ... 2 * 2 * 2 * -2
To find two numbers less than 20 that have more factors, we can start by listing the factors of each number less than 20 and counting them.
Let's start with the number 12:
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Count: 6 factors
Next, let's try the number 18:
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Count: 6 factors
As you can see, both 12 and 18 have the same number of factors, which is 6. However, we need to find two numbers that have more factors, so let's continue with the numbers less than 20.
Let's try the number 16:
Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Count: 5 factors
The number 16 has 5 factors, which is fewer than 6. Therefore, we cannot choose it as one of the numbers.
Next, let's try the number 20:
Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Count: 6 factors
The number 20 also has 6 factors, which is the same as 12 and 18.
Therefore, among the numbers less than 20, we could not find two numbers that have more factors than 12 and 18.
