15 is not prime, so they cannot be.
To find the HCF, you first have to express both numbers as the product of their prime factors: 15 = 3x5 20 = 2x2x5 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have a 5 as a prime factor. Therefore the HCF of 15 and 20 is 5.
5 is but 15 is not a prime number
The prime numbers of 20 are 2, 2 and 5. (2*2*5 = 20)
The product of the prime numbers 3 and 5 is 15.
The prime numbers from 1 to 20 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19. The original answer incorrectly included 1, 9, and 15.
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 ARE prime numbers! 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20 are NOT prime numbers!
10 and 20 are composite numbers, not prime numbers. The prime factorization of 10 is 2 x 5. The prime factorization of 20 is 2 x 2 x 5.
2/5 of the numbers from 1 to 20 are prime numbers
The prime factors of 15 are: 3, 5
3*5 = 15 in prime numbers
The factors of 15 are: 1, 3, 5, and 15.The prime factors of 15 are: 3 and 5.The factors of 20 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20.The prime factors of 20 are: 2 and 5.
5 is prime.
