Prime numbers have one factor pair. Composite numbers have two or more pairs.

(6,8) and (4,12) are two different factor pairs for 48.

How does the number of factors determine the number of different rectangular arrays thst can be made for a given number?

The Number of factors, (That is the number of pairs, such as 2= 1x2, 2x1), is equal to the number of rectangular arrays which can be made for each composite number. As such, the number of factors in the number 9 is 3, (1,3,9), and the number of rectangular arrays is also three (1x9, 9x1,3x3). Hope this helps!


How many different quadrilaterals can you make with 2 pairs of parallel sides?

An infinite number. You can vary the distance between each of the two pairs, and you can rotate one of the pairs relative to the other.


How are parentheses used in grouping factors?

It is common to group factors in pairs with parentheses surrounding each pair.


How does the number of factors determine the number of different rectangular arrays that can be made for given number?

Each factor pair is an array.


How do you find the gcf of 73 and 127?

Find the factor pairs of each number. The greatest factor in common is the GCF. A hint, the definition of a prime number is a number with only two factors: 1 and itself.


How many different pairs of players can be made with one player from each team when there are two teams first team with 6 players second team with 9 players?

First player can be any one of 6. For each of them . . .Second player can be any one of 9.Total number of possible different pairs = 6 x 9 = 54 pairs.


What are the pairs of factors for 36?

To find factor pairs of a number, you divide that number by each integer in turn. If the number divides evenly, you take that divisor, and its answer, as a factor pair. 36 can divide by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36. Thus the factor pairs are 1 and 36, 2 and 18, 3 and 12, 4 and 9, and 6 and 6.


How do you know that you have all the factor pairs in a given number?

It is possible to predict the number of factors of a given number just from knowing the prime factorization. If you list the p.f. with exponents, add one to each exponent and multiply them, you will have the total number of factors. Sounds complicated. Let's look at some examples. 2 x 3 = 6 (2^1 x 3^1 = 6) Any number without an exponent actually has the implied exponent 1. Adding one to each and multiplying gives us 2 x 2 = 4 Six has four factors. That's two factor pairs. 2^3 x 3^2 = 72 4 x 3 = 12 72 has 12 factors. 6 factor pairs. Square numbers are tricky. 3^2 x 3^2 = 81 3 x 3 = 9 81 has 9 factors but 5 factor pairs, since one of the factors (the square root) will be listed twice in a factor pair. Any time you have an even number of factors, cut it in half for the factor pairs. Any time you have an odd number of factors, add one and cut it in half.


How many factors did Mendel conclude control each trait?

Mendel concluded that two factors controlled each trait, which we now understand to be genes. These factors are present in pairs in an individual, with one inherited from each parent.


Does each band represent only one base pair?

Yes, in DNA sequencing each band typically represents one base pair. The length of the band on the gel indicates the size of the DNA fragment, with each band representing a different number of base pairs in the sequence.
