Prime Numbers

A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. All whole numbers greater than 1 are either prime numbers or can be written as the product of prime numbers. There are an infinite number of prime numbers, but they occur less frequently among larger numbers. Prime numbers are important in cryptography and number theory.

How do you write a composite number into prime factors?

All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.

Example: 210

210 Divide by two.

105,2 Divide by three.

35,3,2 Divide by five.

7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210

That's the prime factorization of 210.

Is 992 prime or composite?

As an even number greater than 2, 992 is divisible by 2 and therefore composite. The positive integer factors of 992 are:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 32, 62, 124, 248, 496, 992

Is 564 a prime number?

Is the number 39 a prime?

Thirty nine is not a prime number because it has more than two factors one and itself and three. To be a prime number it must only have one and itself...

What is the factors and prime factors of 60?

Prime factors are 2, 2, 3, 5

Others are combinations of the primes, i.e.

2 x 2 = 4

2 x 3 = 6

2 x 5 = 10

2 x 2 x 3 = 12

3 x 5 = 15

2 x 2 x 5 = 20

2 x 3 x 5 = 30

Is 762 prime or composite?

Composite. All positive, whole numbers greater than five and ending in 0, 2, 4, 5, 6 or 8 are composite.

What is the number which best complete this sequence 2 9 5 13 10 19 17?

27 BUT, as far as I can tell, it does not complete the sequence which can continue further.

40 prime number?

No because 40 is a composite number with more than two factors.

What are two distinct prime factors?

Distinct in this case just means different. The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. The distinct prime factors of 72 are 2 and 3.
