is 1 a prime or composite number?

A. prime number

B. composite number

C. Both A and B

D. None
Correct answer: D

Analysis is neither prime nor composite

Find the difference of the largest and the smallest factor of 40

A. 29 B. 39 C. 49 D. 59

Analysis largest factor=40

smallest factor=1
diffrence 40-1=39
 Prime
Factorization

Prime factorization is a process of factoring a

number in terms of prime numbers i.e. the
factors will be prime numbers.

Ex. Prime factorization of 30=2x3x5

Quiz Find the prime factorization of 18.
Quiz Find the prime factorization of 24.
Which of the folliwing is the factorization of 21?

A. 3 x 7 B. 4 x 7 C. 2 x 6 D. 8 x 2
Correct answer: A

Analysis A
Which of the folliwing is the factorization of 72?

A. 2 x 3 x 7

B. 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

C. 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

D. 2 x 2 x 2 x 5
Correct answer: B

Analysis B
The smallest prime factor of 18 is

A. 2 B. 3 C. 5 D. None
Correct answer: A

Analysis The factors of 18 are 1,2,3,6 and 18.

1 is not a prime number.
So the smallest prime is 2.

 Multiples

A multiple is a result obtained by multiplying a

number by an integer (it shouldn’t be a fraction).

For example:- multiple of 2 are

2x1=2
2x2=4
2x3=6
2x4=8 and so on…
Any multiple of a natural number is always:

A. Bigger than the number

B. Smaller than the number

C. Bigger than or equal to the number

D. Equal to the number

Correct answer: C

 Amazing Fact

Multiples of a number are infinite

(uncountable) but factors of a number are
limited.

For example:- factors of 10:- 1,2,5,10

Multiples of 10 :- 10,20,30,40,50,60…….
Sum of Continuous Odd Numbers

 Any number can be written as
the product of its prime
numbers

We get the multiples of a

number by multiplying it with
Summary any integers

To find sum of odd numbers

we multiply total number of
odd numbers with the same
number.
