Five Factors 1998-09-19
From Derek Yau:
To whom it may concern,

I have difficulty in getting the solution to the following question:

Find 5 numbers that have exactly 5 factors.

I got 16, 81 but couldn't find the rest. I believe that in order to have 5 factors, it has to be a square number. Isn't it true? I guess there may be a pattern to this.

Thanks for your help.
Derek Yau.
