Answer:

first of all there are many ways to compare numbers. example

  • the digit they have
  • the pattern they have
  • there amount

I don't know how to compare them but I try my best

Explanation:

the first 3 numbers have only one digit but the 4th has 2 digits.but it in my opinion you don't want this answer.

so this is not the reason

3 have 2 factor

6 have 4 factor

9 have 3 factor

12 have 5 factors

so as the number increase the factors should increase but 9 has less factors than 6 .so I think 9 is the different one
