distinct factors
If the given number has two factors, one of them is 1.
There are two ways in which the factors can be given. You are given all the prime factors (and their multiplicity). In that case simply multiply them all together. Or You are given each factor. In this case, the biggest of these is the number.
Yes.
It varies with each given number.
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.
You multiply the factors together. if the factors are 6 and 7 or 2,3 and 7, then the number is 6x7=2x3x7=42
They're called the "factors" of the given number.
A factor is a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression.
A factor is a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression.
In doing the factor tree, you can start with any two factors of the given number. These factors maybe prime or composite. But the resulting factors in the factor tree should always be prime numbers. It means that you have to continue factoring unless you ended up with all prime factors.
Since there are an infinite number of prime numbers, there are infinite numbers with any given number of prime factors.
