No. When we're talking about factors, primes, composites, etc., we're normally
talking about only whole numbers.
If things with decimals were acceptable as factors, there would be no such thing
as a Prime number, and every number would have an infinite number of factors.
True
This is not necessarily true. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
False. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
When you divide a number by another number that isn't a factor of the first number.
An infinite amount of numbers can theoretically be placed after the decimal point.
The number of decimal places in a factor is determined by counting the digits to the right of the decimal point. In the case of the factor 40, there are no decimal places, as there is no decimal point present. Therefore, the number of decimal places in the factor 40 is 0.
If one factor is a whole number and their product is 34.44, the other factor must be a decimal. To maintain the product as 34.44, the decimal factor can be expressed as 34.44 divided by the whole number. The least number of decimal places for the decimal factor would be two, since 34.44 has two decimal places, ensuring the product remains accurate when multiplied by the whole number.
True
Not necessarily: for example, consider 0.5 * 4 = 2
This is not necessarily true. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
To convert 2,000 pounds into a decimal number, you need to divide 2,000 by an appropriate conversion factor. The appropriate conversion factor for pounds to a decimal number is 1, as 1 pound is equal to itself. So, to convert 2,000 pounds to a decimal number: Decimal number = 2,000 pounds / 1 pound Decimal number = 2,000 Therefore, 2,000 pounds is equal to the decimal number 2,000.
False. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
When you divide a number by another number that isn't a factor of the first number.

Divide the larger number by the smaller. If the result has no remainder (no decimal) then the smaller number is a factor of the larger.
No. Because the square root is 990.61546525379866996907131624577..... No decimal places allowed!!
The greatest common factor (or GCF) is the highest number that can divide into aanother number, and not have a decimal (whole number).
