How do you factor k squared 5k?
k(k + 5)
Why does every number with 9 have 3 as a factor?
It is because 3 is a factor of 9. So if 9 is a factor of some number X, then X = k*9 for the factor pair 9 and k But X = k*9 = k*(3*3) = (k*3)*3 so that X is k*3 times 3 ie it is a multiple of 3.
Factor 7k squared plus 7k-140?
7k^(2) + 7k - 140 Factor out '7' Hence 7(k^(2) + k - 20) Factor inside the brackets 7(k + 5)(k - 4) Done!!!!
What value of k is x-1 a factor of x2-6x plus k?
k = 5
Why all numbers other than square numbers have an even number of factors?
Consider a number k. Let m be the square root of k : since k is not a square number, m is not an integer and so m cannot be a factor of k.Suppose p is a factor of k and suppose p< m.Then k has another factor q such that k = p*q and since p < m, then q> m.Thus, for every factor smaller than the square root, there is another factor that is larger than the square root. That is, the factors come is distinct pairs and so there is an even number of factors.
