No. With the exception of 2, which is a special case, no even number is prime
Neither 246 nor 8 are prime numbers; rather, they are both composite numbers.
246 is a composite number because it has 8 factors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 82, 123, and 246.
The answer is 246 ------------ Since 13 is a prime number and is not a factor of 42, the LCM will be 42x13 (=246).
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. 246 is composite.
It is: 2*3*41 = 246
246 is a composite number as it has more than two factors. Every number (except 0) is divisible by itself and 1, if the number is divisible by any other number then it is called composite number. 246 is an even number therefore it is divisible by 2,which means it has more than two factors.
First, pick a factor pair whose product is 246. Then, for each number that is not prime, choose a factor pair for it. Continue until you have reduced each branch of the tree to prime numbers. Here is a factor tree OS 246, using periods for spacing: ....246 ...../ \ ...6 x 41 ../ \ 2 x 3 The prime factors are 2, 3, and 41.
246 = 2 x 3 x 41
As a product of its prime factors: 2*3*41 = 246
246 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a prime number.The 8 factors of 246 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, and 246.The factor pairs of 246 are 1 x 246, 2 x 123, 3 x 82, and 6 x 41.The proper factors of 246 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, and 123 or,if the definition you are using excludes 1, they are 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, and 123.The prime factors of 246 are 2, 3, and 41.The 3 distinct prime factors (listing each prime factor only once) of 246 are 2, 3, and 41.The prime factorization of 246 is 2 x 3 x 41.NOTE: There cannot be common factors, a greatest common factor, or a least common multiple because "common" refers to factors or multiples that two or more numbers have in common.
it is a composite;D
246 is, itself, a whole number.
