Most of the numbers you encounter are divisible by some combination of 2,3,5 and/or 7. Start there. If the number is even, keep dividing by two until it isn't. Then try three. And so on. Some people find factor trees helpful. The most important thing is that when you're done, all the factors are prime.
Prime squares
the number can be divided without a remainder
Many people use factor trees.
Factor it. If it has more than two factors (it has) it is composite.
Suppose you have a number N and you want to find its largest prime factor. It is probably easiest to start at the bottom.Find the smallest prime factor, p.Find its factor pair = N/p.If the second number (= N/p) is a prime, then it is the largest prime factor.if not, replace N by N/p and go back to the top.
well it is not that difficult but im trying to figure it out well it is not that difficult but im trying to figure it out
Use a factor tree. 24 12,2 6,2,2 3,2,2,2
Yes. Any time three is a factor, it is a prime factor.
It is a factor of 132, not a prime factor.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. A prime factor is a factor that is a prime number. A common prime factor is a prime factor that appears on the list of factors of two or more given numbers.
19 is a prime factor.
35 can be a factor, but it is not prime.
