' 1 ' and itself.
Every number greater than 1 has the two factors 1 and the number itself.
Every positive integer greater than 1 can be expressed as the product of a unique set of prime factors. The count of these factors is the prime factors number for the number.
A generalization about factors and products for whole numbers is that every whole number greater than one has at least two factors: one and itself. Additionally, the product of two whole numbers is always a whole number, and if both factors are greater than one, their product will also be greater than either factor. This illustrates the foundational relationship between multiplication and the concept of factors in whole numbers.
2 factors, but a prime number has only two factors (itself and one). Note that 1 is not considered to be a prime number.
No, square numbers have an odd number of factors.
There are an infinite amount of numbers greater than two that are composite numbers. Every even number, for instance, is a composite number
No. They have different number of factors
But you do know the factors of prime numbers. Every prime number has two factors: one and the number itself.
The concept of factors makes sense in the context of whole numbers. In the context of other numbers, every number is divisible by every non-zero number.
Every product of two prime numbers has four factors.
52 is a composite number because it has factors in addition to (52 & 1). If a number has only the two factors (itself and 1) then it is prime. Every whole number greater than 1 will have at least those two factors. The number 1 has only one factor (1). Numbers that have more than two factors are called composite numbers.
It is a composite number which is a multiple of two different factors, each greater than 1. The name derives from the fact that a rectangle (or oblong) whose sides are those two numbers will have an area equal to the oblong number. If there were no requirement that the two numbers are greater than 1 then every number would be an oblong number.
