No. Prime factorization is the method of expressing a number as the product of prime numbers. So, Prime factorization of 42 = 2x3x7
Take 30/42, for example. The prime factorization of the numerator (30) is 2 x 3 x 5. The prime factorization of the denominator (42) is 2 x 3 x 7. This will help you find the GCF or the LCM.
42 is a composite number; it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a prime number.The prime factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 7, 42
The prime factorization of 42 is 2x3x7. The prime factors are 2, 3, and 7. There are eight total factors of 42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42.
No. The prime factorisation of 42 = 3 x 7 x 2.
No. Prime factorization is the method of expressing a number as the product of prime numbers. So, Prime factorization of 42 = 2x3x7
In actual fact, the prime factorization of 42 is not 21 x 2, as 21 is not a prime number. The complete prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
No, 21 is not prime.
No.
21 isn't prime. The prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
It is: 2*3*7 = 42
No.
42
the LCM of 42 and 126 using a prime factorization is 2 times 2 times 3
42 = 2 × 3 × 7
Prime Factorization of 42No, 21 X 2 is not the prime factorization of 42 because 21 is a composite number.2 X 3 X 7 is the prime factorization of 42 because all the factors are prime numbers.To arrive at the prime factorization in this particular case, you had to factor 21 down to its prime factors, not forgetting that one of the prime factors of 42 was already 2.2 X 21 = 423 X 7 = 21, so the prime factorization of 42 is:2 X 3 X 7No, 21 is not prime. Try 2 x 3 x 7.
The prime factors of 42 are 2, 3 and 7.
