Three is prime, because the number 3 only has 2 factors 1 and itself and the number 4 has 3 factors 1,2, and 4 (you can tell if a number is prime when it has 2 factors and if a number has more than 2 it is composite)
12
The number 6: with factors 1, 2, 3 and 6.
If you disregard 1 and the number itself, then 12, with the factors 2, 3, 4 and 6. If you include 1 and the number itself, then 6 with factors 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! To find the least number that has 2, 3, and 4 as factors, we need to look for the smallest number that is divisible by all three. We can achieve this by finding the least common multiple of 2, 3, and 4, which is 12. So, the number you're looking for is 12. Happy calculating!

4 : with factors 1, 2 and 4
A prime number is a number that is divisible only by 1 and itself. It has no other factors. The factors of 3 are 1 and 3. It can be factored only as 1 x 3. The factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4. It can be factored as either 1 x 4 or 2 x 2. The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, and 10. it can be factored as either 1 x 10 or 2 x 5. Therefore, 3 is the prime number.
To find the least common multiple (LCM), first factor each of the numbers. The factors of 4 are 2*2. The factors of 9 are 3*3. List the factors of the first number, 4, which is 2*2. List all factors from the second number that are not included in the first number, which is 3*3. The LCM is 2*2*3*3 or the original numbers 4*9 = 36. The LCM of 4 & 9 is 36.
12
The number 6: with factors 1, 2, 3 and 6.
The factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4 .
A factor is a number that can be divided into the given number with no remainder. The factors of 12 are 1 and 12, 2 and 6, 3 and 4.
1, 2, 3 and 4
If you disregard 1 and the number itself, then 12, with the factors 2, 3, 4 and 6. If you include 1 and the number itself, then 6 with factors 1, 2, 3 and 6.
12 is a composite number. Its factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. 4 is also a composite number. Its factors are 1, 2, and 4. Any number that has factors in addition to 1 and itself is a composite number.
