A whole number greater than 1 that has 3 or more factors is 10.
a composite number
They are 1 and 3. Three is a prime number.
Since 3 is prime, the factors are 1 and 3.
A factor is a number or algebraic expression by which another is exactly divisible. Whole factors are whole numbers that are factors. In the equation 3 x 4 = 12, 3 and 4 are factors of 12.
A composite number has three or more factors.
A factor that is a whole number. The whole number factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
The limit is infinity if the factors do not have to be whole numbers. If you stipulate that the factors have to be whole numbers, then, yes, for each number, there is a limit to how many factors it has. For example, the number 4 has only 3 whole-number factors: 1, 2, and 4.
A compound number has 3 or more factors, two of the factors being 1 and the number itself.
6 = 2 x 3 is an example of a whole number written as a product of its prime factors.
They are: 1, 3 and 9
6Factors of 6 are: 1, 2, and 3
