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.

Is it possible to find the prime factorization of a negative number and how do you do it?

No. Any factor string of a negative number would have to include at least one negative number and there aren't any negative prime numbers.

What are 2 numbers that have a product of 13?

-- If you accept decimals and fractions, then there are an infinite number of pairs that

satisfy that description.

-- If you only want to consider whole numbers, then there are only two possible pairs:

1 and 13

-1 and -13

How does prime factorization involve the?

If you don't finish the question, we can't finish the answer.

How do mathematicians determine whether or not really large numbers are prime?

A primality test is an algorithm for determining whether an input number is prime, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of mathematicians type "prime number calculator" into their web browsers.

Is 241 a prime number or a composite number?

241 is a prime number. Any number that only has itself and one as factors is a prime number. Therefore, since there are no factors of 241 other than one and itself it is a prime number.

What are the prime factorizations of 200 180 and 360?

2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 180

2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 200

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 360

What is the prime factorization of 421?

421 is a prime number so it does not have prime factorization.

What are the common factor for 13 91?

The prime factors of 91 are 7 and 13. 13 is a prime number so only has 1 and itself as factors. Therefore the only common factors for 13 and 91 are 1 and 13.
