Factors, Primes Composite Numbers Definition Product – An answer to a multiplication problem. 7 x 8 = 56 Product Definition Factor – a number that is multiplied by another to give a product. 7 x 8 = 56 Factors Definition Factor – a number that divides evenly into another number. 56 ÷ 8 = 7 Factors Test yourself…What are the factors and products? 1) 6 x 7 = 42 2) 63 ÷ 9 = 7 3) 8 x 5 = 40 Factors: 6 and 7 Product: 42 Factors: 7 and 9 Product: 63 Factors: 5 and 8 Product: 40 Example: 7 is prime because the only numbers that will divide into it evenly are 1 and 7. Definition Prime Number – a number that has only two factors, itself and 1. Examples of Prime Numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37… Example: The number 8. The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8. Definition Composite number – a number that has more than two factors. Examples of Composite Numbers 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, … One is special because . . . One is not prime. (because it does not have exactly two different factors). One is not Composite. (because it does not have more than 2 factors). Definition Prime Factorization – A way to write a composite number as the product of its prime factors. 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 or 22 x 3 = 12 How to do a Prime Factorization 48 Step 1 – Write down any composite number. - - Factor Tree Method - - Step 2 – Start dividing by the prime #s (start with 2). If the composite number is divisible by 2, write it down and find the next factor. If not, check if the factor is evenly divisible by 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. 2 x 24 How to do a Prime Factorization 48 Step 3 – Check the factors. If they are prime, you are done. If they are not, proceed to Step 4. - - Factor Tree Method - - Step 4 – Continue dividing. If one of the factors is divisible by 2, write it down and find the next factor. If not, check if the factor is evenly divisible by 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. 2 x 24 2 x 2 x 12 How to do a Prime Factorization 48 Step 5
