What indicates a prime number?
The possession of only two factors.
Indicating the number of factors?
The exponent indicates the number of times the base is used as a factor.
What is the n in x indicating the number of factors of x?
There is no simple relationshipp between a number and the count of its factors.
What is the number with the most factors?
There isn't any, and it is quite simple to prove that. Suppose there is a number with the most factors and suppose that number is X. Now consider Y = 2*X. Y has all the factors of X and it has another factor, which is 2. So Y has more factors than X. This contradicts the statement that X has the most factors. Therefore, there is no number with the most factors.

What indicates the number of times x is used as a factor in an expression?
The exponent.
The number 76 as a product of prime factors?
The number 76 as a product of its prime factors is: 2 x 2 x 19
What are the prime factors to the number 92?
The prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 23
What pattern is there between the number and type of prime factors of a number and the overall number of factors?
If you know the prime factorization of a number, you can find out the total number of factors. Example: 210 2^1 x 3^1 x 5^1 x 7^1 = 210 Add one to the exponents and multiply them. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16, the total number of factors. Example: 72 2^3 x 3^2 = 72 4 x 3 = 12 72 has 12 factors
What are the factors of a number?
Factors of a numbers are numbers multiplied to get that number e.g. factors of 8 = 1,2,4,8 (1 x 8) (4x2) factors of 12= 1,2,3,4,6,12 (1 x 12) (2 x 6) (3 x 4) hope this helped :*
