There is a formula for finding the number of positive integer factors of a number. Take the factorization of the numberm say 2^6x3^4. Take the exponents (in this case, 6 and 4) and add one to each (7 and 5) and multiply them together, and you obtain the number of factors of the number. By this principle, only perfect fourth powers have 5 factors.
30 & 60.
5 is a prime number having 1 and 5 as its only factors. It makes no difference to the factors of 5 if the digit 5 is in composite numbers.
Find all the factors of each of the numbers. 25 - 1, 5, 25 35- 1, 5, 7, 35 The common factors are 1 and 5. The largest of these (5) is the GCF.
two numbers that have factors of 2, 5 and 7 are 70 and 140.
3 x 5 x 11 = 165
Factors are used with whole numbers, not decimals.
60 and 120
30 & 60.
Numbers with 3 or 5 factors are called square numbers.
To find the HCF of two numbers, you have to break them down into their prime factors: 15 = 3x5 5 = 5 The next step is to identify any common factors. Both numbers have a 5 as a prime factors. Therefore the HCF of 15 and 5 is 5.
To find the gcf, you need to find the factors for the two numbers (or more). Factors of: 55: 1,5,11,55 75: 1,3,5,15,25,75 Common factors: 1, 5 Greatest common factor: 5
1125 ends in a 5, so it is divisible by 5. Divide 1125/5 and see what you get. Then find the factors of that new smaller number. This is how you factor numbers.
Multiply prime squares by themselves. 24, 34, 54 all have five factors.
