No. 81=9*9=3*27=1*81
81 has 5 factors and is a square number.
36=6*6=3*12=1*36=2*18=4*9
36 has 9 factors and is a square number.
This doesn't mean that no square numbers have exactly 3 factors though, because:
9=3*3=1*9
9 has 3 factors and is a square number.
4=2*2=1*4
4 has 3 factors and is a square number.
All square numbers have an odd number of factors though (because they have a whole number which multiplies by itself to get the number).
Factors are whole numbers only, and not decimals.
Hope this helps :)
