2 and 3
The factors of 486 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, and 486. The distinct prime factors of 486 are 2 and 3. The prime factorization of 486 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 or, in index form, 2 x 3^5
3, 9, and 27 are the shared factors The shared composite factors will have the same prime factors. You just need to find the common prime factors and then the composites of those are the composite factors. Found this by looking at the prime factors first of 486: 2*3*3*3*3*3 Then of 216297 3*3*3*8011 I'm not sure if 8011 is prime, but it doesn't really matter - the remaining prime factors of 486 (2, 3, 3) don't go in to it. The common prime factors are 3, 3, 3 so the shared composites are the various multiples, in this case, 3,9, and 27.
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, 486, 729, 1458 2 and 3 are prime.
486 is a composite number.
The factors of 486 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, and 486.
It's an even number, so it contains a factor of 2. 486/2 = 243. So 486 = 2 * 243 243 is odd so no more factors of 2. Is 243 a multiple of 3? Yes. 243/3 = 81 (no remainder). So 486 = 2 * 3 * 81 81 should look familiar: 9*9 = 81. And we know that 9 = 3*3 Putting it all together: 486 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 486 = 2 * 3^5 Prime factors are 2 (once) and 3 (five times)
2 x 35 = 486
The common factors of 486 and 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.
486 = 22 x 51 x 71
composite
The factors of 486 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162, 243, and 486. 1 x 486 = 486; 2 x 243 = 486; 3 x 162 = 486; 6 x 81 = 486; etc.
972 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a prime number.The 18 factors of 972 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, 486, and 972.The proper factors of 972 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, and 486 or,if the definition you are using excludes 1, they are 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 243, 324, and 486.The prime factors of 972 are 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, and 3. Note: There is repetition of these factors, so if the prime factors are being listed instead of the prime factorization, usually only the distinct prime factors are listed.The 2 distinct prime factors (listing each prime factor only once) of 972 are 2 and 3.The prime factorization of 972 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 or, in index form (in other words, using exponents), 22 x 35.NOTE: There cannot be common factors, a greatest common factor, or a least common multiple because "common" refers to factors or multiples that two or more numbers have in common.
