when i did this problem i was doing a eratosthenes sieve method and the numbers was from 1-100 so i got the longest string of consecutive composite numbers on the grid are 74-82 this should be right.
BTW I'm 13 doing my moms college work
Sorry, but 79 is a Prime number.
I got 90~96

Factor strings are multiplication sentences. You can take any factor pair, put a multiplication symbol between them and you have a factor string. The longest factor string for any composite number is the prime factorization. All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this. Example: 210 210 Divide by two. 105,2 Divide by three. 35,3,2 Divide by five. 7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime. 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210 That's the prime factorization of 210. And the longest factor string.
The longest factor string for 42 is when we break down 42 into its prime factors. 42 can be expressed as 2 x 3 x 7. This is the longest factor string because these are the prime numbers that, when multiplied together, result in 42.
The longest factor string of 30 is 2 x 3 x 5.
Factors are integers that can be multiplied together to create a product. Such multiplication sentences are called strings. The length of the string is how many numbers are in it. 6 x 4 is a factor string for 24. 2 x 3 x 4 is a longer factor string for 24. 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 is the longest factor string for 24. The longest factor string is also known as the prime factorization.
