How do you get composite numbers by using prime factor?
A composite is any number that has a prime factor smaller than itself and greater than 1.
Two prime numbers greater than 2 have 2 as a common factor?
No prime number greater than 2 has 2 as a factor. A prime number has only two factors, 1 and the number itself. All prime numbers have 1 as a common factor. Numbers with any number besides 1 as common factors are composite numbers.
Is 2546 a prime number?
2546 is not a prime number. No even numbers greater than 2 are prime numbers because they each have 2 as a factor as well as 1 and the number itself.
How do you solve a prime factor of 13?
13 is a prime number. The only prime factor of a prime number is the number itself.
Is a prime number the same as a prime factor?
If you are talking about the number itself, they can be the same. To be specific: A prime number is a number that only has the factors 1 and itself. A factor is a number that when multiplied creates a product. A prime factor is a prime number that is multiplied to create a product.
Which is the biggest factor of any number?
The number divided by its smallest prime factor.
Why a prime number cannot be written as a product of prime factors?
A prime number has only one prime factor, and that prime factor is the number itself.
Can an even number greater than 3 be prime?
No, a prime number has as its only two factors: one and itself. The number 2 satisfies this, but even numbers greater than three would have factors of one and itself, and also have 2 as a factor (because it's even) so then it's not prime.
Can a number be relatively prime to itself?
Two number are said to be "relatively prime" if they have no common factors - of course, other than the trivial factor 1. Even a prime number is not "relatively prime" to itself, since the prime number itself is the common factor. For example, the common factor of 7 and 7 is 7. Thus, the only situation I can think of where a number has no common factor with itself is that the number is 1.
What is the prime factor of the number 13?
13 is already prime. Its only prime factor is itself.
What is a number that has no factor but itself and 1?
A prime number.
What is the prime factorization of 7?
7 is a prime number and therefore its only prime factor is itself.7 is already prime. Its only prime factor is itself.
