Consider these numbers in turn.

1. 60. This number is composite, because 60=2·2·3·5. Acoording to the rule given in task for this number you can have such possibilities:

  • 2 stacks with 30 towels at each;
  • 3 stacks with 20 towels at each;
  • 4 stacks with 15 towels at each;
  • 5 stacks with 12 towels at each;
  • 6 stacks with 10 towels at each;
  • 10 stacks with 6 towels at each;
  • 12 stacks with 5 towels at each;
  • 15 stacks with 4 towels at each;
  • 20 stacks with 3 towels at each;
  • 30 stacks with 2 towels at each.

2. 29 is prime number, because 29=1·29 (has only two trivial divisors). Then you cannot choose numbers of stacks and towels according to the given rule.

3. 37 is prime number, because 37=1·37 (has only two trivial divisors). Then you cannot choose numbers of stacks and towels according to the given rule.

4. 42=2·3·7 is composite number. Acoording to the rule given in task for this number you can have such possibilities:

  • 2 stacks with 21 towels at each;
  • 3 stacks with 14 towels at each;
  • 6 stacks with 7 towels at each;
  • 7 stacks with 6 towels at each;
  • 14 stacks with 3 towels at each;
  • 21 stacks with 2 towels at each.
