For composite numbers, only one string of factors is the longest; the prime factorization.
A prime symbol or number is given to a number that has only 2 factors which are itself and one
A factor = a number which can be divided into the given number with no remainder ie 1, 7, 49 7 * 7 = 49
A factor is any number which can be divided into the given number with no remainder. i.e 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
First of all, to know if a number is abundant, deficient, or perfect, you need to know all the factors of your given number. The factors of 28 are 1,2,4,7,14, and 28. Add your proper factors -or the factors except itself- and determine if the sum of the proper factors is below (deficient), above (abundant), or the exact same amount (perfect). In this case, if you add the proper factors, it equals exactly 28. Because it is exact, it is perfect! =)
A factor is any number that can be divided into the given number with no remainder. The factors of 216 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108, and 216.
It varies with each given number.
one
If the given number has two factors, one of them is 1.
The length of a factor string of a given number is limited by how many factors there are. The smallest are factor pairs, the longest is the prime factorization.2 x 18 = 362 x 2 x 9 = 362 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36Factor strings are the 2 numbers that equal to the number that has been asked to you
There are two ways in which the factors can be given. You are given all the prime factors (and their multiplicity). In that case simply multiply them all together. Or You are given each factor. In this case, the biggest of these is the number.
Yes.
distinct factors
You multiply the factors together. if the factors are 6 and 7 or 2,3 and 7, then the number is 6x7=2x3x7=42
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.
distinct factors
They're called the "factors" of the given number.
A factor is a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression.
