A whole number can be broken down into its prime factors through a process called prime factorization. This involves dividing the number by its smallest prime factor, then repeating the process with the quotient until all factors are prime. The resulting diagram would show the original whole number at the top, with lines connecting it to its prime factors and subsequent prime factors until all factors are prime.
NO! It would have to have only 2 factors for it to be a prime factor!
Prime factors of 40 are: 2, and 5 Prime factorization would be 2x2x2 x 5
Prime numbers have as factors the number 1 and their own number. Example: 37 is a prime number because its only factors are "1" and "37". If the prime number had further factors, it would no longer be prime.
"The numbers 1,2,and 3." Since 1 is not prime, the prime factors of 6 would only be 2 and 3.
I would examine the prime factors and I would put them side by side.
The set of prime factors of the numbers from 1 to 15,000 would be the set of prime numbers between 1 and 15,000. The link below has a list of the first 10,000 prime numbers, so if you take the primes less than 15,000, you will have the set of prime factors of the first 15,000 numbers. For prime factors of individual numbers, check the related question, "What are the prime factors of the numbers from 1 to 200?" Also check for WikiAnswers questions in the form of "What are the prime factors of __?" and "What are the factors and prime factors of __?"
5 is a prime number; the only factors of five are 1 and itself, which makes it prime. If it had other factors, it would be composite
When investigating the prime factors of any number, you would not encounter any fractions.
Once all the prime factors of a number have been found, the number of factors the number has and what they are can be found. I'd be finding the prime factors first before finding all the factors of a number, so I'd rather find all the prime factors as it means I can stop before I have to do more work in finding all the factors.
The smallest prime factors are 2,3,5,7 thus the smallest number would be the product of these will be 210
A chart would be good for continuous and discontinuous data, as for the environmental variation would be a diagram.
