The answer to the first question is true. The answer to the second question is because if the number could be divided by anything but itself and one, then it would not be prime, it would be composite. That is simply the definition of a Prime number.

What are the prime numbers for -30?

Unfortunately, in accordance with math laws, non real, negative integers cannot be factored."Prime numbers are defined as all real, non negative integers who's only factors are that of "1" and itself. Composite numbers are defined as all real, non negative integers who's factors are all real, non negative integers other than "1" and itself.


How is the LCM of two numbers larger than them?

Each of the numbers goes into the LCM so the LCM must be at least as big as the number. So if there are two numbers and their LCM is at least as big as either of them, it cannot be less than either.


Is 1001 a prime number?

No, 1001 is not a prime number. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. In the case of 1001, it can be factored into 7 x 11 x 13, which means it has factors other than 1 and itself, making it a composite number.

What is factor of 1757051?

To find the factors of 1757051, we need to determine all the numbers that can divide evenly into 1757051 without leaving a remainder. The factors of 1757051 are 1, 59, 29711, and 1757051 itself. This is because 1 and the number itself are always factors, and the other factors are obtained by dividing 1757051 by different numbers starting from 2 up to the square root of 1757051.
