If 60 is a factor of n², then √60 is a factor of n. However, n is a whole number, so its factors are whole numbers.
Simplify √60:
If 2√15 is a factor of a whole number n, then √15 must be another factor to make it a whole number.
If 60 is a factor of n², then 2, 3, and 5 must be factors of n. The factors of n² are the squares of the factors of n, so 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 must be factors of n².
Now, if 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 are factors of n², then:
* 5×5=25 must also be its factor
* 2×2×3×3=36 must also be its factor
* 2×2×5×5=100 must also be its factor
Only 16 may not be a factor of n². The answer is A.
