They are: 2, 3 and 107
The number 642 is not a prime number as it can be divided by 2 aswell as itself and one.
1, 2, 3, 6, 107, 214, 321, 642 2, 3 and 107 are prime.
The prime factorization of 642 is 2 x 3 x 107.
Just by looking at it, without trying any factors to see if they work, you can see-- 642 is even, i.e. divisible by 2, since it ends in '2'-- 642 is divisible by 3, since its digits add up to (6+4+2) = 12 which is divisible by 3.Just looking at 642, you already know of at least 2 factors that it has besides '1' and itself,so it can't be a prime number.
No, the first give-away is that it is an even number (divisible by 2).
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. The set of prime factors is a subset of the set of factors for any given number.
There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
Prime numbers have as factors the number 1 and their own number. Example: 37 is a prime number because its only factors are "1" and "37". If the prime number had further factors, it would no longer be prime.
A prime number has two factors: one and the number itself. A prime number does not have any proper factors.
Whether a number is a prime number or not is determined by its factors. It is a prime number if its only factors are 1 and itself.
The prime factors of a squared number are the prime factors, if any, of its square root.
