Given x = 6p

We know, 6 = 2^1*3^1

For the No. Of factors to be minimum, p value is to be assumed such that the assumed value of p doesnt add any more of 2's or 3's and that can be achieved by choosing a number which is prime as p value (hence adding less to the powers of primes).

Let's take p = 11

x = 2^1*3^1*11^1

No. Of Minimum possible Factors = (1+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 8 Factors.
