6Factors usually come pairwise. What type of numbers have an odd number of factors? – Andrew Chin Jun 24 '20 at 16:13

"Divisor" would be a better name than "factor". First, it could lead to a confusion with the prime factors and second , $1$ is usually not considered as a "factor" , sometimes neither the number itself. – Peter Jun 24 '20 at 16:32

The number is $\lfloor \sqrt{100000}\rfloor^2$. Squares and only squares have odd number of divisors.
