A positive integer is called nice if it is a multiple of $8.$
A certain nice positive integer $n$ has exactly $9$ positive divisors. What is the smallest possible value of $n?$

There are 2 cases:

 

n=p81 or n=p21p22

 

But wait! 8=23, so the second possibility won't work since it must not be divisible by a power of 2 greater than 4. Therefore, the smallest (and only) ice number with exactly 9 divisors is 28=256
