Circle the 5
Somewhere in front of you was a list of numbers. The instructions were asking you to break down the numbers and write them as a product of their prime factors. This is known as the prime factorization. The prime factorization of 30 is 2 x 3 x 5.
That's an infinite list. Numbers with three factors are the squares of prime numbers.
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of two factors, first list the factors of each number. Then, identify the common factors between them. The GCF is the largest of these common factors. Alternatively, you can use the prime factorization method, where you break down each number into its prime factors and multiply the lowest powers of all common prime factors.
The prime factors of a number by multiplying each other. You can also use exponents. a prime factorization is when you divide a number and see what all of the prime (odd) numbers make up that number. EX. 9 / \ 3 3 then you would circle the 3's because they are prime.
The prime factors of 51 are 3 and 17. Once you add itself and one, you have all the factors. (1,3,17,51)
do the prime factorization of the 3 numbers. list the prime factors of all the 3 numbers. circle the factors that are common to the 3. multiply them. that number is the HCF
You cannot list all the potential prime factors. Any prime number can be a prime factor. There are an infinite number of prime numbers, so there are an infinite number of potential prime factors. If given a specific number, the prime factors for it can be listed.
List all the factors. Select the ones that are prime numbers.
You need to Writ edown all the factors.. :)
2 and 3
The product of all the common prime factors is the GCF. The product of all common factors would vary according to the list.
2 and 5 are the prime factors of 100.
2,3,5
The prime factors of 100 are 2 and 5 and 2*2*5*5 = 100
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. A prime factor is a factor that is a prime number. A common prime factor is a prime factor that appears on the list of factors of two or more given numbers.
2 x 3 x 5
Prime numbers never stop, it is impossible to list them all.
