This is a negative Prime number. It will have more than just one factor.
Factors of -3 are 1, -1, 3, -3
Factor 12 = 2x2x3 There's no combination for -12 as a product and -3 as a sum at the same time.
The prime factorization of 27 is 3 X 3 X 3. In exponential form it is 3 cubed.Here is a factor tree:273 x 93 x 3 x 33 x 3 x 3
So, when two negative numbers multiply, their product is a positive number (Remember the rule: minus x minus = plus). So, both the numbers in the factor pair should be either negative or positive to give a positive number as a product. For example: (-3 and -6) and (-2 and -9) form factor pairs for 18.
The smallest positive factor of any positive integer is the number 1. If negative factors are allowed, the smallest factor is the negative of the absolute value of any integer.
The same as with positive numbers. The factors of negative numbers have the same absolute value. One set positive, one set negative. Example: -12 1,2,3,4,6,12,-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-12
2 and 3
In a negative correlation as one factor is decreased, the other factor is increased.
Factor 12 = 2x2x3 There's no combination for -12 as a product and -3 as a sum at the same time.
Count forward (positive) or backward (negative) in 3's and you will find all numbers that have 3 as a factor. -12, -9, -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 etc
Negative
1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 4, -4, 6, -6, 12, -12
A negative scale factor is used to produce the image on the other side of the centre of enlargement (scaled to the absolute value of the scale factor).
The prime factorization of 27 is 3 X 3 X 3. In exponential form it is 3 cubed.Here is a factor tree:273 x 93 x 3 x 33 x 3 x 3
The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
So, when two negative numbers multiply, their product is a positive number (Remember the rule: minus x minus = plus). So, both the numbers in the factor pair should be either negative or positive to give a positive number as a product. For example: (-3 and -6) and (-2 and -9) form factor pairs for 18.
