help math riddle i cannot resolve 6th grade level !?

Question

a)i am an odd number
b) my middle two factors (in order from least to greatest) are consecutive odd numbers )
c)i can be represented by exactly three different rectangles
d)i have exactly 6 factors
e) two of my factors are prime numbers

Answer 1

99!!!!!

YAY I DID IT!

1_3_9_11_33_99
1] ODD NUMBER...YES
2]MID TWO FACTORS...9 & 11
3]DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
4] SIX FACTORS...YES
5] TWO PRIME NUMBERS...1 & 3 & 11 ACTUALLY (1 IS PRIME)

Answer 2

Good work, britrob20!

99 is right!

a. 99 is certainly odd

b. factors are 1 3 9 11 33 99, and the middle 2 are indeed consecutive odd integers

c. here are the 3 rectangles...

1x99 3x33 and 9x11 they each have an area of 99 and lengths of the sides as shown in the 3 pairings above.

d. yes, 6 factors 1 3 9 11 33 99

e. 2 of the factors are indeed prime 9 and 11 (actually, 1 isn't usually considered a prime number, although it used to be) see articles below.

(just the first 2 paragraphs of the 1st article are enough)

(the 2nd one is especially hard but tells why 1 isn't usually considered prime)

Good question, Diane H! :-) Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Impossible. Even # of pigs includes 0, but since it cannot be left empty..., each pen must have at least 2 pigs. 6 pigs isn't enough to be in 4 pens. Here's the only method to make things possible. Place a chicken (tiger would be fine too) in one pen. Place 2 pigs in the rest of each pen. And you have all 4 pens filled with an even # of pigs and none of them are empty =D!!
