How are factors and exponents related?
An exponent is a number that indicates how many copies of the base are to be multiplied together. An exponent is a number like any other and its factors - if any - are foud in the same way as the factor of any other number.
How do you find out what is the smallest number with eleven factors?
Prime numbers, raised to a power, have one more factor than their exponents. The smallest prime number is 2. 210 has eleven factors. 210 = 1024
What does factor mean when it's multiplication?
Two numbers that multiply to create another number are factors of that number.
Why do you add 1 to each exponent after a number is factorized to determine the number of positive factors for any given number?
Suppose you have a prime factor with an exponent of n. Then that prime factor can appear 0, 1, 2, ... , n times in a compound factor: that is, there are (n+1) different exponents that it can take.
How do you find the smallest number with 11 factors?
Prime numbers, raised to a power, have one more factor than their exponents. The smallest prime number is 2. 210 has eleven factors. 210 = 1024
Is a prime number the same as a prime factor?
If you are talking about the number itself, they can be the same. To be specific: A prime number is a number that only has the factors 1 and itself. A factor is a number that when multiplied creates a product. A prime factor is a prime number that is multiplied to create a product.
Will prime factorization help find the number of factors of any number?
Write the prime factorization with exponents. Add 1 to each exponent. (Numbers without exponents actually have the exponent 1.) Multiply them together. That will be the number of factors.
What does it mean to be a factor of a number?
Factors are numbers that multiply to create a product. Since 3 x 4 = 12, 3 and 4 are factors of 12.
How can finding factor pairs help with finding all of the factors number?
If you know the prime factorization of a number, you can find out the total number of factors. Example: 210 2^1 x 3^1 x 5^1 x 7^1 = 210 Add one to the exponents and multiply them. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16, the total number of factors.
What are raised numbers called?
The raised number, or exponent, is the number of times the base is used as a factor.
What it means for one number to be a factor of another factor?
A factor is a number that can be multiplied with another factor to create a product. 4 x 5 = 20 Four and five are factors of 20. Since 2 x 2 = 4, 2 is a factor of 4 and also a factor of a factor.
What array can you make to show the factors of 16?
You can create an array with some elements, get the factors of a number (such as 16), and while you get each of the factors, place the factors in the array. Every time you find a factor, divide the number by this factor before you search the next factor (to avoid getting the same factor over and over again).
