2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
The longest factor string is 2x2x2x3x13. It is always best to list your factor string from the least to greatest number.
The longest factor string of any composite number is its prime factorization.
A factor = a number which can be divided into the given number with no remainder so yes 48/24 = 2
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48
Yes.
A factor = a number which can be divided into the given number with no remainder so yes, 12 is a factor of 48 (as is 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48)
The number of numbers in the string; how long it is.
A factor string is a name for a number written as a product of two or more factors. In a factor string, 1 may not be used as a factor. For example, a factor string for 24 is 2 X 3 X 4, or 2 3 4.:0
24 is a factor of 48. But, 24 is not a prime factor because it is a composite number.
The greatest number in that set is 48. The greatest factor of any positive number is the number itself. The greatest common factor of that set is 12.
