### 14 Divisors

What is the smallest number with exactly 14 divisors?

### Repeaters

Choose any 3 digits and make a 6 digit number by repeating the 3 digits in the same order (e.g. 594594). Explain why whatever digits you choose the number will always be divisible by 7, 11 and 13.

### Oh! Hidden Inside?

Find the number which has 8 divisors, such that the product of the divisors is 331776.

# Differences

##### Stage: 3 Challenge Level:

Choose any three whole numbers, find the differences between them all, and find the product of the differences.

For example, if your three whole numbers are $7$, $4$ and $12$, the differences are:

$12 - 7 = 5$
$12 - 4 = 8$
$7 - 4 = 3$

The product of the differences is $3\times 5\times 8 = 120$

Try a few examples.

Now choose any four whole numbers, find the differences between them all, and find the product of the differences.

For example, if your four whole numbers are $7$, $4$, $12$ and $6$, the differences are:

$7-4 = 3$
$12-7 = 5$
$7-6 = 1$
$12-4 = 8$
$6-4 = 2$
$12-6 = 6$

The product of the differences is $3\times 5\times 1\times 8\times 2\times 6 = 1440$

Try a few examples.
