No. For example, 30 has the factors 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30; while 31 only has the factors 1 and 31 - in other words, it's a Prime number. Note that there are arbitrarily large prime numbers (there is no last prime number); each of them has exactly two factors.

Is the cube of a number always greater than the number?
Usually, but not always. 1 cubed is 1. Cubed fractions are smaller.
What two numbers do every number greater than 1 have as factors?
Every number greater than 1 has the two factors 1 and the number itself.
When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than 1 is the quotient greater than the whole number?
The quotient is always greater than the whole number. Why? Because it takes more to add up a smaller number than a bigger number. I hope this makes sense.. I'm really stupid XD
Is a fraction always smaller than the whole?
if i am understanding the question right you mean "is a fraction always smaller than a whole number?" the answer is no. for example is twelve thirds(12/3) smaller than 3? no because twelve thirds is actually 4 and 4 is greater than 3.
What does a mixed number represent a percent greater than?
Greater than 100% or smaller than -100%.
Is 4 a multiple of 78?
No, it is a factor. Multiples are always greater than the number itself, factors are smaller.
Is the sum of two numbers always greater than the larger number?
Not always, if the smaller number is 0 or a negative number. Then their sum will be equal or less than the greater number.

What number is greater than 13 but smaller than 19 and only has 2 factors?

What number is an important fraction always greater then?
There is no such number. Given any number, there is sure to be an important fraction that is smaller.
Why is a negative integer always greater than a positive integer?
It isn't. A negative integer is always smaller than a positive integer. Look at the numbers on a number line, in standard format. If a number is further to the right than another number, it is greater. The number further to the left is smaller.
Which number is greater then 25 and has the most factors?
There is no such number with "most factors"; if you have a number with a certain number of factors, you can always multiply it by 2, or by 3, etc., to get another number that has even more factors.
Is any factor of a whole number greater than any multipule of a whole number?
If you're talking about the same number, no. Apart from the number itself, all factors of a number are smaller than its multiples. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
A number greater than 1 that has more than two whole number factors?
Not always. Some numbers such as 2, also known as prime factors, only have 2. Besides prime factors, they are all over 2 factors.
Why do you use division to change a smaller unit to a larger unit in conversions?
There are lots of small units in each big unit. As a result, the number of small units is greater and to go from a greater number to a smaller number you need to divide by a number which is biiger than 1.Alternatively, to change a smaller unit to a larger unit you can always multiply by a number which is between 0 and 1.
What composite numbers greater than fifteen?
It is 16 because a composite number always has more than 2 factors
Why any prime numbers and composite number always be a composite number?
If you mean the product, that's by definition. A composite number has smaller factors. If you multiply two positive integers, none of which is 1, together, then it follows that the product has smaller factors - namely, the numbers you multiplied together.
