The longest factor string is the prime factorization
As a product of its prime factors: 7*577 = 4039
If the GCF of a given pair of numbers is 1, the LCM will be equal to their product. If the GCF is greater than 1, the LCM will be less than their product. Or, stated another way, if the two numbers have no common prime factors, their LCM will be their product.
All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this. Example: 210 210 Divide by two. 105,2 Divide by three. 35,3,2 Divide by five. 7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime. 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210 That's the prime factorization of 210.
The LCM of two numbers is one of the numbers when one of the numbers is a multiple of the other. The LCM of two numbers is the product of the numbers when they are relatively prime. In all other cases (like consecutive even numbers that aren't 2 and 4) the LCM is as you describe.
Factoring is like taking a number apart. It means to express a number as the product of its factors. Factors are either composite numbers or prime numbers (except that 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite). Chihuahua1492 :0
a prime factorization
Prime factorisation.
An expression that shows a number expressed as a product of prime numbers.
Multiply prime numbers or prime factors to find their product.
Yes. Composite numbers can be written as the product of prime factors.
Numbers that have 2 factors are prime numbers; Numbers that have 4 factors are either: * the cube of a prime; or * the product of two different primes; Numbers that have 8 factors are either: * a prime to the power 7; * the product of a prime cubed and different prime; * the product of three different primes.
The expression 2x3x4x5 can be simplified to 120. The number 120 has the least number of factors because it is a product of consecutive prime numbers (2, 3, and 5). When a number is a product of distinct prime numbers, it will have fewer factors compared to numbers with repeated prime factors. In this case, 120 only has 16 factors, making it the least among numbers with the same number of prime factors.
