The Prime Factors of 7,325 are 5, 293
The prime factors of 30 are: 2, 3, and 5.
A prime number only has two factors. If the number you're looking at has more than two factors, it is not prime.
Squares of prime numbers have three factors.
Keep dividing until all the factors are prime.
The factors of 38 are 1, 2, 19, and 38. There are four different factors. The prime factors of 38 are 2 and 19. There are two different prime factors.
23 is prime because its only factors are 1 and itself.
420 has four prime factors: 2,3,5,7
To determine the least common multiple of two numbers, determine the prime factors of both number. Then, determine the prime factors they have in common. Multiply all their prime factors together (in other words, multiply both numbers together) and divide by the prime factors they have in common (in other words, their greatest common factor). The prime factors of 21 are 3 and 7. The prime factors of 28 are 2, 2, and 7. The prime factors in common are a single 7. Therefore, the lowest common multiple is 21 x 28 ÷ 7 = 84
If there are no prime factors in common, the GCF is 1.
A prime number has only 2 factors which are itself and one whereas a composite number has more than two factors.
Distinct prime factors are the prime factors that are distinct (or different) from each other. A list of distinct prime factors is a list of one of each different prime number that is a factor. For example, the prime factors of 8 are 2, 2, and 2. The only distinct prime factor is 2, which occurs multiple times.
