The following numbers are prime. 2 has exactly two different factors, 1 and 2. 7 has exactly two different factors, 1 and has exactly two different factors, 1 and has exactly two different factors, 1 and 29. Example 1: Prime and Composite Numbers

HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 1: Prime and Composite Numbers (cont.) The following numbers are composite. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 are all factors of 12. Thus 12 has more than two different factors. So 1, 3, 11, and 33 are all factors of 33, and 33 has more than two different factors

Determining Whether a Number is Prime To Determine Whether a Number is Prime Divide the number by progressively larger prime numbers (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and so forth) until: 1.The remainder is 0. This means that the prime number is a factor and the given number is composite; or 2.You find a quotient smaller than the prime divisor. This means that the given number is prime because it has no smaller prime factors.

Example 3: Determining Whether a Number is Prime Is 103 a prime number? Solution Tests for 2, 3, and 5 fail. (The number 103 is not even; = 4 and 4 is not divisible by 3; and the last digit is not 0 or 5.)

Example 3: Determine Whether a Number is Prime Divide by 7:Divide by 11: The quotient is greater than the divisor. The remainder is not 0. The quotient is less than the divisor, so we are done. The remainder is not 0. The number 103 is prime.

Example 5: Application of Factors of Counting Numbers One interesting application of factors of counting numbers (very useful in beginning algebra) involves finding two factors whose sum is some specified number. For example, find two factors of 70 such that their product is 70 and their sum is 19. Solution The numbers we are looking for are 5 and 14 because

HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. To Find the Prime Factorization of a Composite Number 1.Factor the composite number into any two factors. 2.Factor each factor that is not prime. 3.Continue this process until all factors are prime. The prime factorization is the product of all of the prime factors. The Prime Factorization of a Composite Number

Example 6: Finding the Prime Factorization of a Composite Number Find the prime factorization of 60. Solution 60 = 2  3  2  5 Since the last digit is 0, we know 10 is a factor. 6 and 10 can both be factored so that each factor is a prime number. This is the prime factorization of 60. We can also start with a different set of factors. = 6  10
