Numbers

Numbers are our way to quantify, label, and organize the world around us in a logical manner.

All questions pertaining to numbers, including historic labeling systems, bases of numerical systems, constants, and the various ways they're grouped together, should be placed into this category.

What are the 9 numbers under a hundred with an odd number of factors?

Eight of them are the squares of 2 to 9: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81.

Another contributor had no such reservations:

1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 91.

And 100 would be the tenth one.

'1' certainly satisfies the specifications in the question.
