Solution
This problem needs a solution. If you have a solution for it, please help us out by adding it.
The following solution contains errors; please correct it:
Having three proper divisors means that there are 4 regular divisors. So the number can be written as where
and
are primes. The primes under fifty are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, and 47. There are 15 of them. So there are
such numbers.
