Why all numbers other than square numbers have an even number of factors?

Consider a number k. Let m be the square root of k : since k is not a square number, m is not an integer and so m cannot be a factor of k.

Suppose p is a factor of k and suppose p< m.

Then k has another factor q such that k = p*q and since p < m, then q> m.

Thus, for every factor smaller than the square root, there is another factor that is larger than the square root. That is, the factors come is distinct pairs and so there is an even number of factors.

What composite number can be expressed as product of its factors?

None.

A composite number c must have a prime factor psuch that 1 < p < c.

Therefore the product of c's factors must be at least p*c which must be greater than c.
