A whole number greater than 1 whose only factors is itself and 1 is called a prime factor. 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11, are just a few of them.

What generalization can you make about factors and products for whole numbers?

A generalization about factors and products for whole numbers is that every whole number greater than one has at least two factors: one and itself. Additionally, the product of two whole numbers is always a whole number, and if both factors are greater than one, their product will also be greater than either factor. This illustrates the foundational relationship between multiplication and the concept of factors in whole numbers.
