2, 3 and 5
The prime numbers (factors) of 120 are: 2,3,5
The prime numbers (factors) of 120 are: 2,3,5
Three. The prime numbers (factors) of 120 are: 2,3,5
The expression 2x3x4x5 can be simplified to 120. The number 120 has the least number of factors because it is a product of consecutive prime numbers (2, 3, and 5). When a number is a product of distinct prime numbers, it will have fewer factors compared to numbers with repeated prime factors. In this case, 120 only has 16 factors, making it the least among numbers with the same number of prime factors.
The Prime Factors of 120 are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
The prime factors of 120 are: 2,3,5
Example: What are the common prime factors of 120 and 252?Find the prime factorization of each number by breaking it down into the lowest possible numbers that can be multiplied together to make the original number.120 = 2x60 = 2x2x30 = 2x2x2x15 = 2x2x2x3x5252 = 2x126 = 2x2x63 = 2x2x3x21 = 2x2x3x3x7Notice that there are 2 2's and a 3 in each factorization: the common prime factors are 2, 2, and 3.
120 is not a prime and no prime numbers equal a composite (ie non-prime).
The prime factors of 120 are 2,2,2,3 and 5. The 3 distinct prime factors of 120 are 2, 3, and 5. The factors of 120 are 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 12 15 20 24 30 40 60 and 120.
120 = 2*2*2*3*5, so there is 5 prime numbers, no 2 prime numbers
Some factors are prime numbers.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. Some numbers have some of the same prime factors as other numbers. These are known as common prime factors. 3 is a common prime factor of 12 and 15.
