Can a number be both whole and irrational?
No. No irrational numbers are whole, and all whole numbers are rational.
Why are there greatest common factors and not least common factors?
1 is the least common factor of all whole numbers, so there is nothing to choose for a least common factor. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of a set of two or more numbers is the largest factor that will divide into every number in the set without leaving any remainder. 1 is the least, or smallest, factor common to all whole numbers.
Do all numbers have at least one prime factor?
All whole numbers except for -1, 0 and 1 have at least one prime factor.
Is the number 56 a rational number whole number natural number or irrational number?
56 is a rational whole natural number. Or to put it another way: 56 is a Natural number, but as all natural numbers are also whole numbers 56 is also a whole number, but as all whole numbers are also rational numbers 56 is also a rational number. Natural numbers are a [proper] subset of whole numbers; Whole numbers are a [proper] subset of rational numbers. The set of rational numbers along with the set of irrational numbers make up the set of real numbers
True or false Are all whole numbers are natural numbers?
It depends, many people do count 0 as a natural number, but MOST do not. So for most HS text book, the answer is NO, all whole numbers are not natural numbers and the reason is 0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
Which number is a common factor of all whole numbers?
One.
Do all whole numbers have at least one common factor?
Yes, and that number is 1.
What is the lowest common factor of 3 4 and 16?
The lowest common factor (the smallest positive whole number which divides into all the numbers without any remainder) of 3, 4, 16 is 1, as it is for any set of numbers. The highest common factor (the largest positive whole number which divides into all the numbers without any remainder) is also 1. The lowest common multiple ((the smallest positive whole number into which divide all the numbers without any remainder, ie the smallest positive whole number which is a multiple of all the numbers) is 48.
What are the factors of all the numbers through 100?
Every whole number between 1 and 50 is a factor of one or more whole numbersbetween 1 and 100.' 1 ' is a factor of every whole number.
Can one be a factor of all numbers?
All whole numbers yes
Do odd numbers have a factor?
All whole numbers have factors.
What is a factor for all whole numbers?
One.
Can you dint the prime factorization in 4.8?
When a factor divides into a number, the result is a whole number. That's how you know the first number is a factor. If you were to allow the result to be a decimal, then all numbers would be factors. It defeats the purpose. Prime factorizations refer to whole numbers, not decimals.
What are the difference between a decimal and a whole number?
The difference is that all whole numbers are decimal numbers, but not all decimal numbers are whole numbers. For example a whole number such as 1 is a decimal number but a decimal number such as 1.5 is not a whole number.
Is there is a natural number that is not a whole number?
No. All natural numbers are whole numbers.
Are two numbers in a ratio always have a common factor?
if one number is odd 2 cannot be a common factor
Can a greatest common factor be a rational number?
All factors are whole numbers and all whole numbers are rational numbers (a rational number is one which can be expressed as one integer over another integer, and whole numbers can be expressed as themselves over 1), thus all factors are rational numbers and so all greatest common factors are rational numbers. The set of whole numbers is a [proper] subset of the set of rational numbers: ℤ ⊂ ℚ
