3 is a prime factor of 12 and of 21.
3
3
'3' 3 x 4 = 12 3 x 7 = 21 NB '7' is also a prime number.
12 is a composite number, not a prime factor.
21 = 3 x 7. Both these factors are prime.
no
The prime factors are: 12 = 2 * 2 *3 21 = 3 *7 30 = 2 * 3 * 5 So the greatest common factor is 3.
The prime factors of 12 are 2 and 3. The only prime factor of 27 is 3. The prime number that both 12 and 27 have as a factor is 3.
21 is not a prime factor, it is 3 x 7
Two numbers are relatively prime if the only factor they have in common is 1. Example: 12 and 17 are relatively prime because they have only 1 as a common factor. 12 and 21 are not relatively prime because they have 1 and 3 as common factors.
No. The only factors of a prime number are 1 and itself. The only way that 21 could be a factor of a prime number is if it were a prime number, but it is not because 21 is also divisible by 3 and 7.
