Prime numbers and prime facotrs.
What we have learned today:
1.) Square numbers (perfect squares) are the product of a whole number when it is multiplied to itself. Eg. 4= 2x2. Therefore 4 is a square number.
2.) Factors are whole numbers that divides evenly into a whole number, leaving no remainder.
Eg. Factors of 16:
1 2 4 8 16
3.) Prime numbers are whole numbers greater than one, that have only two factors, which is one (1) and itself.
Examples of prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.
PS: One (1) is NOT a prime number. Why? Because it only has one factor, which is itself.
4.) Prime factors are the least possible factors of a number; must always be a prime number. The Prime Factorization method is used to get the prime factors of a number. (factor tree)
Eg. 18
/\
9 2
/\ \
3 3 2 = Prime factors.
