Usually, but not necessarily and not if they're prime. All prime numbers have the same number of factors.

How do you get the prime factorization of large numbers?

The same way as with smaller numbers, it may take longer. Just keep dividing by prime numbers until all the factors are prime.

How do you calculate first ten prime numbers?

You go through each number, starting with 2, 3, 4, ... and check if the number has any smaller factors. If it has no smaller factors, you conclude it is a prime number. Continue until you have 10 prime numbers.


What is 3 prime and 5 prime?

3 and 5 are prime numbers. This means they can't be separated into smaller factors. For comparison, 9 is not a prime number, since it CAN be separated into smaller factors (9 = 3 x 3).


Composite numbers vs prime numbers?

A composite number is a natural number that can be divided into smaller factors (which are also natural numbers). For example, 6 = 2 x 3. A prime number is an integer (greater than 1) that cannot be separated into smaller factors. For example, 7 can't be divided into smaller factors.


Are there prime numbers that are also square mumbers?

No. That isn't possible: A prime number, by definition, has no smaller factors. A square number does have a smaller factor - the number that is squared.


Do larger numbers have more factors than smaller numbers?

Generally yes, but not in all cases. The largest prime number has over 22 million digits but only two factors whereas 60 has six times as many factors.


Explain Why the Numbers 0 and 1 have no prime factor?

2 is the smallest prime number. Numbers can't have factors larger than themselves. Zero and one aren't large enough to have prime factors.


Characteristics of numbers and prime factorization?

Each number is either itself a prime number, or it can be separated into smaller prime numbers. A prime number is a number that has no smaller factors. Factorization into prime factors is unique, except for the order of the factors.


Do large numbers give longer number chains?

Most of the time, but large prime numbers still have only two factors.


What is prime numbers and composte numbers?

A prime number is a positive integer that can't be divided into smaller positive integers. Its only positive factors are one, and the number itself. (One is usually not considered a prime number.) A composite number is one that does have smaller prime factors. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 are prime numbers. 4 = 2x2, 6=2x3, 9=3x3 are composite numbers.
