What is the HCF of 14 and 20?

The easiest way to do this is to split the numbers down into their prime factors: 14 = 2x7 20 = 2x2x5 The next step is to spot any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have a 2 as a prime factor. Therefore, the HCF of 14 and 20 is 2.


What is you called when the prime factorization of a number is 1 and itself?

You is called a prime number!You is called a prime number!You is called a prime number!You is called a prime number!


What is a prime number times a prime number?

A prime number times a prime number is a composite number. Since prime numbers, except for 2, are odd numbers, a prime number times a prime number is usually an odd number. It will only be an even number if one of the prime numbers is 2. A prime number times a prime number will be a number with four factors unless both prime numbers are the same, in which case it will be a square number with only three factors.


Is 101 a prime or composite number?

101 is a prime number. The only factor of 101 is itself and 1.prime


Why 1 is not prime number?

It's a question of how "prime" is defined. Mathematicians have chosen not to include 1 in their set of prime numbers, possibly because they feel it makes things easier.Every positive integer can be written as a product of prime numbers (prime factorization). In fact, every positive integer has only one prime factorization. (Reordering the primes doesn't count, e.g. 2x3x3 is the same as 3x2x3.) This would no longer be true if 1 was a prime number. For instance: 14 = 2x7 = 1x2x7 = 1x1x2x7 = 1x1x1x2x7. Every positive integer would have infinitely many prime factorizations. You's have to rewrite the theorem to say "...only one prime factorization WITHOUT A 1", which would be more awkward.There are probably more examples out there, but I can't think of any good ones at the moment.
