A refactorable number, also known as a tau number, holds a unique mathematical property. It is defined as an integer n that can be evenly divided by the total count of its divisors.

In algebraic terms, a refactorable number n satisfies the condition where n is divisible by the number of its divisors. This characteristic sets it apart from other integers and makes it an intriguing subject in number theory.

The sequence of refactorable numbers begins with several notable integers. The first few refactorable numbers are listed in sequence A033950 in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS).

To illustrate the concept of refactorable numbers, Cuisenaire rods can be used as a visual aid. These rods, of different lengths representing different integers, can demonstrate how certain numbers fit the criteria of being refactorable.

For instance, using Cuisenaire rods, it is easy to verify that 1, 2, 8, 9, and 12 are refactorable numbers. Each of these numbers can be divided by the total number of its divisors, aligning with the algebraic definition of a refactorable number.
