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.
But you do know the factors of prime numbers. Every prime number has two factors: one and the number itself.
You know that 7 is a prime number because it only has two factors.
Prime numbers only have two factors.
A prime number has no factors other than 1 and the number itself. If prime factorization of a number reveals one or more additional prime factors, the number is a composite.
To know that a number is prime you need to know that it has no factors other than 1 and the number itself.To know that a number is composite you only need to know one factor other than the number itself or 1.
But you do know the factors of prime numbers. Every prime number has two factors: one and the number itself.
You know that 7 is a prime number because it only has two factors.
Prime numbers only have two factors.
A prime number only has two factors: one and itself.
Yes it a prime number because it has only two factors and you will know if a number is prime factor if it's factors are only 1 and itself.
A prime number has no factors other than 1 and the number itself. If prime factorization of a number reveals one or more additional prime factors, the number is a composite.
When all the factors are prime.
To know that a number is prime you need to know that it has no factors other than 1 and the number itself.To know that a number is composite you only need to know one factor other than the number itself or 1.
You don't.If you know just one factor, other than 1 and the number itself, you will know that the number is composite.A prime has only two factors: 1 and itself. So all the factors is no big deal.
It only has two factors.
It only has two factors.
It has exactly two factors.
