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.

What are prime numbers for 24?

To find the prime factorization, start with any two factors of 24 and keep factoring the composite factors until all factors are prime.

24

2 x 12

2 x 2 x 6

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24

Is 768 prime or composite?

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

What are some rules of prime factorization?

Prime factorization is where you take a number like 24 and make it into the prime numbers that multuply to make it. like this

24

/ \

4 6

/ \ / \

2 2 2 3

The prime factorization of 24 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, or 2 cubed times 3. All you have to do is make the factor tree and think of two numbers that, multuplied, make the number before it until it's all prime numbers like I did.

What is the GCF of 84 and 216 using prime factorization?

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 216

2 x 2 x 3 x 7 = 84

2 x 2 x 3 = 12, the GCF

Is 2500 a composite number?

2500 is a composite number. A prime number has exactly 2 factors, 1 and the number itself. All even numbers greater than 2 (numbers ending in 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0) are composites because they have more than 2 factors.

Is 40 an even number?

Even numbers are numbers which are multiples of 2 (they can be divided by 2). 40\2 = 20

This means that 40 is an even number.

What is the prime factorization of 2688?
