There are 6 factors of 32 an even number (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32), but only 4 factors of 33 an odd number (1, 3, 11, 33).
This one example pair of an odd number and an even number contradicts your assertion that odd numbers have more factors than even numbers.
The number of factors of a number depends upon the prime factorisation of the number - even or oddness of the number has no bearing on the number of factors of the number.
If one of the primes (in the factorisation of a number) happens to be 2 (the only even prime), then the number will be even.
If a number's prime factorisation is represented in power format (eg 44 = 22 x 11), then the total number of factors of the number is given by the product of the powers of the primes incremented by one, that is:
number = Î pini
where
pi are the primes
ni are the corresponding powers of the primes
then
number_of_factors = Î (ni + 1)
examples:
The factors of 44 are: 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44
The factors of 1500 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 60, 75, 100, 125, 150, 250, 300, 375, 500, 750, 1500
If this question means "in the interval 0 to 16 inclusive, is the sum of the odd numbers the same as the sum of the even numbers ?" then the answer is no. The sum of the even numbers is eight more than the sum of the odd ones.
even numbers have 2,4,6,8,0 in their onesplacefor example:-22 82
The ones digit in even numbers can be any of the following: 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. This is because even numbers are divisible by 2, meaning they can be expressed as 2 multiplied by another integer. The ones digit is the digit in the ones place of a number, which can range from 0 to 9.
The "ones" place is always the last digit in any number so multiples of 5 always have either 5 or 0 (zero) in the "ones" digit position.
Since the 0 is in the ones place, it will make the whole number even. An even number is composite because it can be divisible by 2 and other numbers too.
I think its even because in the ones place it has a 2 in the ones place
A composite number is a positive integer, which has a positive divisor other than one or itself.
Except for 5, all of them have more than two factors.
If this question means "in the interval 0 to 16 inclusive, is the sum of the odd numbers the same as the sum of the even numbers ?" then the answer is no. The sum of the even numbers is eight more than the sum of the odd ones.
The ones with less than three factors.
List the factors. Cross out the even ones.
even numbers have 2,4,6,8,0 in their onesplacefor example:-22 82
You appear to asking about numbers such as 15, 25, 35, etc. If this is the case, all of these numbers are divisible by more tham themselves and one. Prime numbers are divisible by only two factors.
Except for 5, all of them have 5 as a factor which makes them have more than two factors.
List all the factors. Select the ones that are prime numbers.
Other than 5, they are multiples of 5 and have more than two factors.
The ones digit in even numbers can be any of the following: 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. This is because even numbers are divisible by 2, meaning they can be expressed as 2 multiplied by another integer. The ones digit is the digit in the ones place of a number, which can range from 0 to 9.
