2...12/2=6 8/2=4 6/2=3
It is a factor.
It is the remainder.
It is the remainder.
8 does not divide 42 evenly so 42/8 is not a whole number.
Find the largest whole number that will divide into the numerator and the denominator evenly, divide them each.
The smallest positive whole number that will evenly divide into 9 and 19 is 1. This is true for any number. All numbers must divide by 1!
This is called a prime factorization. 1. Start with the smallest prime that evenly divides into the number and divide. 2. Take the answer and divide by the smallest prime that evenly divides into the number .... repeat, until no longer divisible by any prime but itself. ex: 12 ..... 12 divide by 2 = 6 6 divide by 2 = 3 (3 is a prime) ans... 2x2x3

It isn't 1 is. 1 is always the smallest. Can you divide 1 and get a whole number? No a prime number is something that you can divide into, yes you can divide it, making it a negative number, but not a whole number. * * * * * In fact, 1 is NOT a prime (nor a composite), so 2 IS the smallest prime.

It is the remainder.
That's known as the least common multiple, or LCM. It's the smallest number that all the members of a given set of whole numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder.
Probably the most common use is in adding fractions with different denominators. The least common multiple of the denominators is the least common denominator. Each fraction can be converted to one with the common denominator, and then you can add the fractions by adding their numerators.
8 does not divide 42 evenly so 42/8 is not a whole number.
The smallest whole number that has exactly 6 distinct positive divisors is 12. The divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. These are the only positive integers that evenly divide 12, making it the smallest number with exactly 6 distinct positive divisors.
