Numbers with 6 factors are of the form p 5 p^5 or p 2 q p^2q where p p and q q are distinct primes. Hence the two-digit numbers of this form are:

  • p 5 p^5 for p = 2 p = 2

  • 4 q 4q for q { 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 23 } q \in \{3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23\}

  • 9 q 9q for q { 2 , 5 , 7 , 11 } q \in \{2,5,7,11\}

  • 25 q 25q for q { 2 , 3 } q \in \{2,3\}

  • 49 q 49q for q = 2 q = 2

This gives us an answer of 1 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 16 1 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = \boxed{16} .
