Jon has 23 students in his class.

<h3>How to determine the number of students</h3>

Number of students = Least 20 and most 28

In this case, we are getting a 1 * x rectangle of desks, which is the only possible arrangement.

'x' is a prime number.

Since his classes can't have less than 20 and more than 28, it means we are  looking out for a prime number between 20 and 28.

Let's sort out a prime number between the numbers, 20 and 28

20: 1,2,4,5,10,20

21: 1,3,7,21

22: 1,2,11,22

23: 1,23

24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

25: 1,5,25

26: 1,2,13,26

27: 1,3,9,27

28: 1,2,4,7,14,28

From what we have, 23 is a prime number because it is only divisible by one and itself.

Therefore, Jon has 23 students in his class.

Based on the information provided and the requirements to organize the students, Jon most likely has 23 students.

<h3>How many students are needed to organize them in a rectangular grid?</h3>

In general, Jon will need a number that is not prime as this type of number will not allow him to complete all the grid.

<h3>Which are possible numbers?</h3>

20 = A rectangular grid of 5 x 4 seats can be arranged

21= A rectangular grid of 7 x 3 can be arranged

22 = A rectangular grid of 2 x 11 can be arranged

23 = It is impossible to organize 23 seats in a rectangular grid without gaps
