In actual fact, the prime factorization of 42 is not 21 x 2, as 21 is not a prime number. The complete prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
No.
the LCM of 42 and 126 using a prime factorization is 2 times 2 times 3
No, prime factorization of 42 is not 21 x 2 because 21 is not a prime number and it can be further broken into primes as 3 x 7. So prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
You find the prime factorization of 42 like this. You think what 2 number multiplied together give you 42: 6x7 7 is prime because the only factors it has is 1 and itself. 6 can be broken into 3x2. So you currently have 7x3x2. All these numbers are prime so you just found the prime factorization!
No. Prime factorization is the method of expressing a number as the product of prime numbers. So, Prime factorization of 42 = 2x3x7
In actual fact, the prime factorization of 42 is not 21 x 2, as 21 is not a prime number. The complete prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
No, 21 is not prime.
No.
21 isn't prime. The prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
It is: 2*3*7 = 42
No.
42
the LCM of 42 and 126 using a prime factorization is 2 times 2 times 3
42 = 2 × 3 × 7
Prime Factorization of 42No, 21 X 2 is not the prime factorization of 42 because 21 is a composite number.2 X 3 X 7 is the prime factorization of 42 because all the factors are prime numbers.To arrive at the prime factorization in this particular case, you had to factor 21 down to its prime factors, not forgetting that one of the prime factors of 42 was already 2.2 X 21 = 423 X 7 = 21, so the prime factorization of 42 is:2 X 3 X 7No, 21 is not prime. Try 2 x 3 x 7.
The prime factors of 42 are 2, 3 and 7.
