When you multiply 23 by a fraction less than one how does the product compare to the factors?
23 is a prime and so its only factors are 1 and 23. The product will be smaller than 23 but it is not possible to be certain how the product will compare with 1.
When dividing two numbers is the product always smaller than one of the factors?
No. 36 divided by 4 = 9
How can you determine whether the LCM of two numbers is the product of the numbers or is less than the product if the numbers?
By finding out whether they have any factors in common. If the only factor they have in common is 1, the LCM will be their product. If they have more factors in common, their LCM will be less than their product.
Explain why is 20 considered to be a composite number?
Any number that has factors smaller than itself (other than 1) is a composite number.Any number that has factors smaller than itself (other than 1) is a composite number.Any number that has factors smaller than itself (other than 1) is a composite number.Any number that has factors smaller than itself (other than 1) is a composite number.
What do you notice about the relationship between the factors and the product when multiplying two decimals less than 1?
The factors are greater than the product.
Why is 24 composite?
Because it has factors smaller than itself.
What are the factors of 35 which are smaller than 200?
All of the factors of 35 are less than 200.
What does a composite number mean?
A composite number is an integer (usually a positive integer) that can be expressed as the product of smaller integers (other than 1). In other words, a composite number is NOT a prime number, but it has smaller prime numbers as factors.
What is the least common multiple of 7 and 9 that is smaller than their product?
The LCM of 7 and 9 is their product. There is no common multiple that is smaller.
What do you know about the product if one of the factors is less than one?
The product will be less than the other factor.
When will a product be more than the two factors?
Never.
What numbers are smaller factors or multiples?
It depends on what they are compared to. In general, factors will be smaller than the number they are compared to, and multiples will be larger. Overall, factors tend to be smaller than multiples, but 20 is a factor of 40 and 10 is a multiple of 5, so there are exceptions.
