Its factorization makes it a sphenic number. All sphenic numbers have exactly eight divisors. Sphenic numbers always have exactly eight divisors. The sphenic numbers are the square-free 3-almost primes. A composite number with three distinct prime factors is a sphenic number. It is a sphenic number, and is the product of three consecutive prime numbers. All sphenic numbers are by definition squarefree, because the prime factors must be distinct. For example, 24 is not a sphenic number, but it has exactly eight divisors.
