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.
Prime numbers don't factorize; they're already prime.
There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
Prime numbers have as factors the number 1 and their own number. Example: 37 is a prime number because its only factors are "1" and "37". If the prime number had further factors, it would no longer be prime.
Whether a number is a prime number or not is determined by its factors. It is a prime number if its only factors are 1 and itself.
Prime numbers don't factorize; they're already prime.
If you play the factor game, you factorize the number. If the number of factors are only 2 including 1 and number itself, then it is a prime.
Prime factor means the factors of the number which divides the number. Example :- 15= 3× 5 . Here the 3 and 5 are the prime factors of 15. Prime factors of 74 - 2×37.
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.
When you factor a number, you break it down into factors that multiply up to the number. For example, 12=3x4. There is also prime factorize when you factor the number into primes. For example, 100=2^2x5^2.
The largest 3-digit number is 999 and sqrt(999) = 31.61 approx. So try all prime factors up to and including 31.
Factors,are the number that can be multiply and multiplies are the operation to solve a problem and to factorize numbers...
break it into prime number multiples,10 = 2 * 5 (both prime numbers)example: factorize 387(387) = 9 * 43 (both primes , end of excercise)factorize 390:(390) = 2 * (195) = 3 * (65) = 5 * 13 (both primes , end of excercise)
The prime factorization of 57 is 3 x 19 = 573*19
There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. The set of prime factors is a subset of the set of factors for any given number.
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
