FACTORS OF 42 -MINDSPARK<\/h1>\n

FACTORS OF 42<\/b><\/h2>\n

Factors are the numbers that completely divide the number and leave no remainder. 42 has the following factors:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The factors of 42 are as follows: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 42. The factors can be composite numbers or prime numbers as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prime numbers are those that have only two factors: the number itself and 1. So in the case of the number 42, the prime factors are 2, 3 and 7. The other factors such as 6, 14, 21 and 42 are composite numbers. They are divisible by more than 2 numbers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FINDING THE FACTORS<\/b><\/h2>\n

Since 42 is a composite number and has more than two factors, we can start from 1 and then count the numbers that completely divide 42. All of the numbers\u00a0 are:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

FINDING FACTORS BY PRIME FACTORISATION<\/b><\/h2>\n

Prime factorisation is a method where a composite number is broken down till the only numbers left are prime numbers. There are two methods for prime factorisation. They are the factor tree method and long division method.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prime factorization using the factor tree method:<\/b><\/p>\n

In this case, we use a tree where the number is the root and the factors are its branches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This gives the prime factorisation of 42 as 42 = 2 x 3 x 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long division method<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the upside-down division method where we choose the smallest prime number that divides the number and we keep on dividing until the last quotient found is 1.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The long division method gives us the same answer that is 42 = 2 x 3 x 7.<\/span><\/p>\n
