Find any factor - like 2, then divide by 2, to get the other factor: 2 x 248. Continue finding more factors for the number to the right, until you divided the number into prime factors.
There isn't any, and it is quite simple to prove that. Suppose there is a number with the most factors and suppose that number is X. Now consider Y = 2*X. Y has all the factors of X and it has another factor, which is 2. So Y has more factors than X. This contradicts the statement that X has the most factors. Therefore, there is no number with the most factors.
All composite numbers have more than two factors. The smallest such number is 4, which is equal to 2 x 2. 4 has three factors: 1, 2, and 4.
14 28 / \ / \ 7 2 2 14 / \ 2 7 Factors of 14: 7,2 Factors of 28: 2, 2, 7 Factors are prime numbers that are all the product of the original number. 7*2 is 14 and 2*2*7 is 28
No it's a prime number. And a prime number is a number that is only divisable by 1 and itself.A prime number is a number which has only 2 factors. These factors are 1 and itself.A composite number is a number which has more than 2 factors.In this case, the only factors of 2 are 1 and 2. Therefore 2 is not a composite number, it is a prime number.
The only number that has 2 factors is the number 2.
All prime numbers have only 2 factors. A prime number has 1 and itself as its only factors.
As 2 is a prime number, it only has 2 factors: 1 and itself.
The who number factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
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.
All even numbers.
Proper factors of a number do not include 1 or the number itself. For example, all of the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6, but the proper factors of 6 are 2 and 3.
Every number except the number 1 has at least two factors, 1 and the number itself. Prime numbers have exactly two factors and composite numbers have more than two factors. All even numbers except the number 2 are composite numbers and have more than two factors. The number 2 is prime and its only factors are 1 and 2.
All but 1.

The factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4, 8.
