What is the difference between a factor and divisor?
A divisor is the number being divided by in a division problem. For example, 6/3=2. 3 is the divisor in that example. A factor is the part of a multiplication problem that is being multiplied. A multiplication problem can have two or more factors. For example, 3 times 2 equals 6. 3 and 2 are the factors in that example.
What multiplication problem equals 315?
As a product of its prime factors: 3*3*5*7 = 315 or as 32*5*7 = 315
What is 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128?
It is a series. Each number is twice the one before and so the next would be 256It is also an 8 bit conversion table listed from lowest to highest. Most IT network techs use the 8 bit conversion table to do quick subnetting calculation (or identification) 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

How mm convert to pascal?
In order to convert mmHg to kiloPascals, you need to know the conversion factor. Other helpful conversion factor are also listed. Now all you need to know how to do is complete a dimensional analysis problem. 760 mmHg = 101.325 kPa 1 ATM = 101.325 kPa 1 torr = 1 mmHg
How many seconds are in 21 hours?
Solve this problem by doing dimensional analysis. Start with your given (the number you are given): 21 hours Next, obtain some conversion ratios/factors. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. There also 60 seconds in 1 minute. 21 hours x 60 minutes/1 hour x 60 seconds/1 minute Multiply and divide it out to get 75600 seconds.
What are the business factors that are driving systems analysis?
The business factors that are driving systems analysis are problems, opportunities, and directives. Each problem, opportunity, and directive is assessed with respect to urgency, visibility, tangible benefits, and priority.
What is the process of writing units of each variable to a real-life problem called?
The process of writing units of each variable in a real-life problem is called dimensional analysis or unit analysis. It is useful for understanding the real-life problem and for checking to see we get a valid answer. Please see the links for additional explanations.
What is this problem of this 100 cl -------- mg?
The main problem is that the question makes no sense at all. A milligram is a measure of mass. A centilitre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider a centilitre of air. How many milligrams? Next consider a centilitre of water. How many milligrams? The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.
Factor label method?
It is also called "Dimensional Analysis". It is a problem-solving method that uses the fact that any numbers can be multiplied by one without changing its value.
When doing dimensional analysis when do you round to the correct number of significant figures?
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
