Answer:

Since the sum of its digits equals nine, 702 is divisible by nine.

702 is a composite number.

Prime factorization: 702 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 13, which can be written 702 = 2 x (3^3) x 13

The exponents in the prime factorization are 1, 3, and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (1 + 1)(3 + 1)(1 + 1) = 2 x 4 x 2 = 16. Therefore 702 has exactly 16 factors.

Factors of 702: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 13, 18, 26, 27, 39, 54, 78, 117, 234, 351, 702

Factor pairs: 702 = 1 x 702, 2 x 351, 3 x 234, 6 x 117, 9 x 78, 13 x 54, 18 x 39, or 26 x 27

Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √702 = (√9)(√78) = 3√78 ≈ 26.49528.
