It isn't 1 is. 1 is always the smallest. Can you divide 1 and get a whole number? No a prime number is something that you can divide into, yes you can divide it, making it a negative number, but not a whole number. * * * * * In fact, 1 is NOT a prime (nor a composite), so 2 IS the smallest prime.
in terms of 1<n<2. where n is the smallest number, you can infinately divide n to create a smaller number. its a trick question. there is no said number n that is the smallest unit between 1 and 2
That would be 1. * * * * * No, that is the smallest number that will divide 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. The smallest number is 420.

The smallest number is LCM(2, 3, 4, 5, 6) + 1 = 61
5 is the smallest number that 5 can divide (5/5=1). But if you don't want 5, the next smallest number would be 10 (10/5=2)
This is called a prime factorization. 1. Start with the smallest prime that evenly divides into the number and divide. 2. Take the answer and divide by the smallest prime that evenly divides into the number .... repeat, until no longer divisible by any prime but itself. ex: 12 ..... 12 divide by 2 = 6 6 divide by 2 = 3 (3 is a prime) ans... 2x2x3
The number is 504.
The smallest prime number is 2.
The smallest prime number is 2.
