If you notice that numbers with the required property has two pairs of factors, for example, for 12, we have
2*6, 4*3.
Which means that numbers divisible by 4 are more likely to have this property.
Can you find them?
Aliquot divisors are all the divisors of a number except the number itself. The product of the Aliquot divisors of a number is somtimes equal to the square of the number. The Aliquot divisors of of 12 are 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,6. Their product,1x2x3x4x6=144=12*2 is the smallest number with this property. Three other numbers less than 30 have this property. Find two of them.
