ChatGPT says, "The number you're describing is 18.
18 is greater than 16 and less than 20. Its factors include 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. Among these factors, 2 is a number, and 2 times 2 equals 4, which is also one of its factors. So, the factors of 18 include a number and the number doubled, fulfilling your criteria."

Let's start by listing the numbers between 16 and 20: 17, 18, and 19.
Next, we need to determine which of these numbers have factors that consist of a number and the number doubled.
For 17, the factors would be 1 and 17 (since 1 x 17 = 17), but there is no number that can be doubled to give us 17.
For 18, the factors would be 1 and 18, but again, there is no number that can be doubled to give us 18.
Lastly, for 19, the factors would be 1 and 19, and once again, there is no number that can be doubled to give us 19.
Therefore, based on effective reasoning, we can conclude that there is no composite number greater than 16 and less than 20 whose factors consist of a number and the number doubled.
