1 They only have two factors.

2 2 is the only even factor because 2 goes into all other even numbers.

3 Because it only has 1 factor. Itself.

7 17 + 3 = 20

8 37 + 31 = 68

9 2 is an even number.

Example:
Find the prime factor decomposition of 48 and 150.
48 150

2 24 5 30

4 6 5 6

2 2 2 3 2 3

48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 150 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5
= 24 x 3 = 2 x 3 x 52
Activity:
1 Write each number as the product of its prime factors.

a 15 b 24 c 40 d 23

15 = 3x5 24 = 2x2x2x3 40 = 2x2x2x5 23 = 23

e 37 f 64 g 72 h 100

37 = 37 64 = 2x2x2x2x2x2 72 = 2x2x2x3x3 100 = 2x2x5x5

2 20 can be written using 3 factors, 2 x 2 x 5. Find three different

numbers with exactly three prime factors.

Using the product of its prime factors. Work out the square root of 144

Using the product of its prime factors. Work out the square root of 196
