Subtracting one number from another is finding what between them?
That is called the difference between them.
What is the difference between the factors and the proper factors of a number?
The proper factors are the regular factors without one and the number itself.
What is the difference between finding a prime factors of a number and finding the prime factorization of a number?
The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 The prime factors of 72 are 2 and 3. Prime factorizations may contain repeated factors. When you list the factors, you only need to list them once.
What is the difference between factors and proper factors?
Proper factors do not include one and the number itself.
If you have only 2 factors and the difference between the 2 factors is 16 what are you?
17 If the number has only two factors, it must be a prime number. The only factors of 17 are 1 and 17. The difference between 1 and 17 is 16.
What is the positive difference between the number of distinct prime factors of 15 2 and the number of distinct prime factors of 64 3?
The difference is one.
How is prime factorization different from finding factors of a number?
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers, one is neither. When finding the factors of a number, you find all the factors. The prime factorization is a multiplication string of just prime factors that will total the given number.
What is the difference between the products of all the whole number factors of 12 and 18?
The difference is 4104.
What is the difference between prime factor and factors of number?
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are not.
What is a difference between a composite number and a prime?
The difference is that a prime number only has two factors that's one and itself, a composite has more factors than one and itself.
