How does 40 explain prime factorization?
40 is simply a number. It does not and cannot explain prime factorisation!
Can you explain why the prime factorization of 42 is 21 2?
In actual fact, the prime factorization of 42 is not 21 x 2, as 21 is not a prime number. The complete prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
Important concept of prime factorization?
The most important concept is that, apart from their order, the prime factorisation of any number is unique. This is known as the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic.
How do you write out the prime factorization of a prime number?
The prime number is the prime factorization. For example, the prime factorization of the prime number 3 is 3. Get it?
Is 53 prime factorization number?
53 is a prime number so there is no relevant prime factorization for it.
What number has 2x2x2x2x3 as its prime factorization?
The only number with that prime factorization has to be 48.
Can a number greater than 100 have only 1 number in it's prime factorization?
Yes. Any prime number greater than 100 has only itself in its prime factorization. Examples: The prime factorization of 101 is 101. The prime factorization of 109 is 109. The prime factorization of 127 is 127. The prime factorization of 311 is 311. The prime factorization of 691 is 691.
How do you know without dividing that 91 is not in the prime factorization of 75257?
91 cannot be in the prime factorization of any number because it is not a prime number itself.
What makes a factorization of a number a prime factorization?
When all the factors are prime numbers, that's a prime factorization.
What is the prime factorization of 421?
421 is a prime number so it does not have prime factorization.
What is the prime factor of 19?
19 is a prime number, so it has no prime factorization.
What is a prime factorization for a number is 3x3x3x5x7?
That's the prime factorization of 945.
