Two is a prime number (and the only even prime number). Its only factors are 1 and itself.
A prime factorization
23 is a prime number.
The prime factors of 51 are 3 and 17. Once you add itself and one, you have all the factors. (1,3,17,51)
If you know the prime factorization of a number, you can find out the total number of factors. Example: 210 2^1 x 3^1 x 5^1 x 7^1 = 210 Add one to the exponents and multiply them. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16, the total number of factors.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers, one is neither. When finding the factors of a number, you find all the factors. The prime factorization is a multiplication string of just prime factors that will total the given number.
Once all the prime factors of a number have been found, the number of factors the number has and what they are can be found. I'd be finding the prime factors first before finding all the factors of a number, so I'd rather find all the prime factors as it means I can stop before I have to do more work in finding all the factors.
The procedure to find all factors of a number are: 1) Separate the number into prime factors. 2) Try out all combinations of those factors.
it is a way of finding out all of the prime numbers that you have to multiply to equal the desired number.
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.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. The set of prime factors is a subset of the set of factors for any given number.
No. Prime factors are the numbers that make up other numbers, but they have to be prime. Prime factorisation is the process of finding the prime numbers that create a number. This is when you multiply the prime numbers together and the product is the original number. For example: 20 5x4 5x2x2 This process is called prime factorisation. In this case, the prime numbers are 2, 2, and 5.

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.
No one has ever discovered the mathematical pattern for prime numbers and all that is known about them is that each prime number has only 2 factors which are itself and one.
All prime numbers have only 2 factors. A prime number has 1 and itself as its only factors.
All prime squares have three factors.
