To multiply with more than two factors, you can use at least three numbers that it would take to multiply to get the larger number. For example, the number 50, with two factors can be 1X50, 2X25, or 5X10. But if you are asked for more than two factors, you could do this: 2X5X5 Factor 72 using more than two factors: 2X2X2X3X3
50 with more than 2 factors:1 x 2 x 252 x 5 x 5
50 is a composite number because it has more than two factors
32,33,34,35,36,38,39,40,42,44,45,46,48 and 49 all have more than two factors.
50 is not a prime number because it has more than 2 factors 10x5=50 1x50=50 and 80 is also not a prime because it has more than 2 factors 1x80=80 2x40= 80
2 x 5 x 5 = 50
2 x 5 x 5 = 50
50 is a composite number because it has more than two factors
If you include 1, you'll have an infinite number of answers. If you don't, you have 2 x 5 x 5
50 is a composite number because it has more than two factors whereas prime numbers have only two factors.
You cannot know it because it is not true. 24, for example, has more factors than 50.
