1 Factors, Primes & Composite Numbers

2 Definition Product Product – An answer to a multiplication problem.
7 x 8 = 56 Product

3 Definition Factor – a number that is multiplied by another to give a product. 7 x 8 = 56 Factors

4 Definition Factor – a number that divides evenly into another. 56 ÷ 8 = 7 Factor

5 What are the factors? 6 x 7 = 42 6 & 7 7 x 9 = 63 7 & 9 8 x 6 = 48 8 & 6 4 & 9 4 x 9 = 36

6 What are the factors? 42 ÷ 7 = 6 7 63 ÷ 9 = 7 9 48 ÷ 6 = 8 6 9 36 ÷ 9 = 4

7 7 Definition 7 is prime because the only numbers
Prime Number – a number that has only two factors, itself and 1. 7 7 is prime because the only numbers that will divide into it evenly are 1 and 7.

8 Examples of Prime Numbers
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 Special Note: One is not a prime number.

9 8 Definition The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8
Composite number – a number that has more than two factors. 8 The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8

10 Examples of Composite Numbers
4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15 Special Note: Every whole number from 2 on is either composite or prime.

11 Our Lonely 1 One is not a prime nor a composite number.
It is not prime because it does not have exactly two different factors. It is not composite because it does not have more than 2 factors. Special Note: One is not a prime nor a composite number.

12 Definition Prime Factorization – A way to write a composite number as the product of prime factors. 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 or 2 2 x 3 = 12

13 How to Do Prime Factorization Using a Factor Tree
Step 1 – Start with a composite number. 48 Step 2 – Write down a multiplication problem that equals this number or any pair of factors of this number. 6 x 8 = 48

14 How to Do Prime Factorization Using a Factor Tree
Step 3 – Find factors of these factors. 6 x 8 = 48 2 x 3 x 2 x 4 = 48

15 How to Do Prime Factorization Using a Factor Tree
Step 4 – Find factors of these numbers until all factors are prime numbers. 6 x 8 = 48 2 x 3 x 2 x 4 = 48 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 48

16 How to Do Prime Factorization Using a Factor Tree
Step 5 – Write the numbers from least to greatest. 6 x 8 = 48 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 48 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48

17 How to Do Prime Factorization Using a Factor Tree
Step 6 – Count how many numbers are the same and write exponents for them. 6 x 8 = 48 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 48 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48 4 2 x 3 = 48

18 Prime factor this number

21 Prime factor this number
9 3 x 3 = 9 2 3 = 9

22 Prime factor this number
10 2 x 5 = 10

23 Prime factor this number
12 3 x 4 = 12 3 x 2 x 2 = 12 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 2 2 x 3 = 12

24 Prime factor this number
14 2 x 7 = 14

25 Prime factor this number
15 3 x 5 = 15

26 Prime factor this number
16 4 x 4 = 16 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 4 2 = 16

27 Prime factor this number
18 3 x 6 = 18 3 x 2 x 3 = 18 2 x 3 x 3 = 18 2 x 3 = 18 2

28 Prime factor this number
20 4 x 5 = 20 2 x 2 x 5 = 20 2 x 5 = 20 2

29 Prime factor this number
21 3 x 7 = 21

22 2 x 11 = 22

31 What about those with variables?
24y2 We do the same as before, we just add the variables with it 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * y * y 23 * 3 * y2
