The proof that there is no largest prime:Assume that there are a finite number of primes for the sake of contradiction. Then, there should be a number P that equals p1p2p3...pn+1. P is either prime or not prime (composite). If it is prime, we just show that P is larger than the largest prime in the list. If it's not prime, it must be composite. Composite always has at least one factor that is prime, but since P is not divisible by any prime in the list, the unknown prime factor(s) must be something not in the list, this also shows that there is a prime larger than the largest prime in the list. Both cases show that no matter how large a list of prime numbers, there will be always at least one larger prime outside of that list.
First, find two numbers that when multiplied together equal 189. I can tell by looking at the number that it is divisible by 9. Any number whose digits add up to a number divisible by 9 is also divisible by 9. 1 + 8 + 9 = 18, which is divisible by 9. 189 ÷ 9 is 21. So, the top of our factor tree is: 189 9 x 21 Now, determine two pairs of numbers that when multiplied together, one pair will equal 9 and the other pair will equal 21. 9 = 3 x 3 and 21 = 7 x 3. So, now our factor tree is: 189 9 x 21 (3x3) x (7x3) You would continue doing this until you no more numbers can be factored. Since 3 and 7 are prime numbers, the factor tree is finished. The factor tree shows that the prime factorization of 189 is 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 or 33 x 7.
what is a line that shows a number in order using a scale is called what is it called
A mixed number or mixed fraction.
Standard notation is the usual way of writing a number that only shows digits.
A factor rainbow.
A composite number is a positive integer having at least one factor other than 1 and the number itself. -12 is not a positive integer.

70 is an even number and the only even prime is 2. This tells you right away that 70 is composite.Also, 70=2 X 5 X 7, so the prime factorization also shows you it is composite.70 is a composite number because it has at least one positive factor other than one or itself.

An exponent shows the number of times a base is used as a factor.
The exponent
If a number is a perfect square, then you might say that one of its factors is a factor twice, so the list of factors has an odd number of entries. Example: 16. Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. One of the "factor pairs" of 16 is [ 4 x 4 ], but '4' only shows up once on the list.
No 21 is not a factor of 24. In order for a number to be a factor of another number, x number times n number must equal the number you are trying to factor. Below is a self made image that explains factoring and shows you how to factor 24.
The exponent shows how many times the base is used as a factor.
