How do you know when you have found the longest possible factor string of a number?
When all of the numbers are prime.
How many longest strings of factors are there for a given number?
For composite numbers, only one string of factors is the longest; the prime factorization.
What is the mathematical definition for a length of a factor string?
The number of numbers in the string; how long it is.
What is the difference between a factor string and prime factorization?
A factor string consists of any factors (except 1) that multiply to equal the number. Prime factorization consists of only prime numbers that multiply to equal the number. In the case where the factors of the original number consists only of primes, there is no difference.
What is the longest factor string you found?
The longest factor string of any composite number is its prime factorization.
What is the longest factor string for 312?
The longest factor string is 2x2x2x3x13. It is always best to list your factor string from the least to greatest number.
Why is the longest factor string for any whole number is the prime factorization?
Shorter factor strings aren't composed entirely of prime numbers.
The longest string of factors for a number?
The prime factorization.
What is the longest string of consecutive composite numbers?
when i did this problem i was doing a eratosthenes sieve method and the numbers was from 1-100 so i got the longest string of consecutive composite numbers on the grid are 74-82 this should be right. BTW I'm 13 doing my moms college work Sorry, but 79 is a prime number. I got 90~96
What is the longest factor string of a number called?
The prime factorization
What is the longest factor string for the number 840?
the longest factor string for 840 is: 2x2x2x3x5x7. I hoped that helped m! Have a good rest of your day!
What is the longest prime factorization string for 239?
There is only one prime factorization string for each number, so there is not a "longest" one. Since 239 is a prime number, its prime factorization is 239.
