Factors of Composite Numbers
Composite Numbers are those that have more than two factors. For example: 4, 9, 25, 105, etc are composite numbers. All the other natural numbers (except 1) which are not prime are composite. 4 is the smallest composite number.
We can find all the factors of the composite number by using multiplication or division method.
Note: 1 has only one factor so it is neither prime nor composite.
Factors of a Number
Factors of a Number: In mathematics, a factor is a number that divides another number perfectly, leaving no remainder. Factors can also be seen as pairs of numbers that, when multiplied together, result in the original number. For example, 2 and 3 are factors of 6 because multiplying them together gives 6. A single number can have multiple factors.
Let’s learn about the factors of prime and composite numbers, common factors, and methods to find them.
