PF of 462 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 11
Since 462 is clearly even (all integers which end with a 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 are even) it is composite (2 is the only even prime number). All even numbers except for 2 are composite. All prime numbers except for 2 are odd numbers.
You've come to the right place. Here is the answer: 462 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 11
2x21x11
Sum = ½ × number of numbers × (first number + last number) = ½ × (462 - 408 + 1) × (408 + 462) = ½ × 55 × 870 = 23,925
The number 462 has prime factors as 2,3, 7 and 11. Their product is 462.
PF of 462 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 11
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. 462 is composite.
The prime factorization of 462 is 2x3x7x11.
No because it has more than 2 factors
No. All whole numbers ending in two are composite except the number 2 itself, which is prime.
No.
The number in question can be found by multiplying the prime factors together: 2 x 7 x 11 = 154. This means that 154 is the smallest number with these prime factors. In general, the prime factorization of a number involves breaking it down into its prime factors, which are the smallest prime numbers that divide evenly into the original number.
Composite
The prime factors of 462 are: 2, 3, 7 and 11.
Since 462 is clearly even (all integers which end with a 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 are even) it is composite (2 is the only even prime number). All even numbers except for 2 are composite. All prime numbers except for 2 are odd numbers.
Since there aren't any negative prime numbers, prime factorization refers to positive numbers.
