2 × ____ = 70
3 × ____ = 70
4 × ____ = 70
The factors of 70 are 1, 2, 5, 7, ___, ____
___ and ___
Answer:
Factor definition:
When a number is said to be a factor of any other second number, then the first number must divide the second number completely without leaving any remainder. In simple words, if a number (dividend) is exactly divisible by any number (divisor), then the divisor is a factor of that dividend. Every number has a common factor that is one and the number itself.
1 × 70= 70
2 × 35= 70
3 × 23.3= 70
4 × 17.5= 70
Point to remember: Fractions cannot be considered as factors for any number.
The numbers that divide 70 exactly without leaving a remainder are the factors of 70. As 70 is an even composite number, it has many factors other than 1 and 70. Hence, the factors of 70 are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, and 70. Similarly, the negative factors of 70 are -1, -2, -5, -7, -10, -14, -35, and -70.
1 × 70= 70
2 × 35= 70
5 × 14=70
7 × 10=70
Factors of 70: 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, and 70.

Question 2.
40
The factors of 40 are
_________
Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40.
Explanation:
The Factors of 40 are all the integers (positive and negative whole numbers) that you can evenly divide into 40. 40 divided by a factor of 40 will equal another Factor of 40.
How to find the factors of 40:
Since the Factors of 40 are all the numbers that you can evenly divide into 40, we simply need to divide 40 by all numbers up to 40 to see which ones result in an even quotient. When we did that, we found that these calculations resulted in an even quotient:
40 ÷ 1 = 40
40 ÷ 2 = 20
40 ÷ 4 = 10
40 ÷ 5 = 8
40 ÷ 8 = 5
40 ÷ 10 = 4
40 ÷ 20 = 2
40 ÷ 40 = 1
The Positive Factors of 40 are therefore all the numbers we used to divide (divisors) above to get an even number. Here is the list of all Positive Factors of 40 in numerical order:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40.

Question 15.

Answer:

Explanation:
The factors of 6 are the numbers that divide 6 exactly without leaving the remainder. In other words, the factors of 6 are the numbers that are multiplied in pairs resulting in an original number 6. As 6 is an even composite number, it has many factors other than 1 and 6. Thus, the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6. Similarly, the negative pair factors of 6 are -1, -2, -3 and -6.
Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Factors of 6 by division method:
– In the division method, the factors of 6 can be found by dividing 6 by different integers. If the integers divide 6 exactly and leave the remainder 0, then those integers are the factors of 6. Now, let us discuss how to find the factors of 6 using the division method.
* 6/1 = 6 (Factor is 1 and Remainder is 0)
* 6/2 = 3 (Factor is 2 and Remainder is 0)
* 6/3 = 2 (Factor is 3 and Remainder is 0)
* 6/6 = 1 (Factor is 6 and Remainder is 0)

– Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16.
How to calculate factors of 16:
Go through the following steps to calculate the factors of 16.
* First, write the number 16.
* Find the two numbers, which gives the result as 16 under the multiplication, say 2 and 8, such as 2 × 8 = 16.
* We know that 2 is a prime number that has only two factors, i.e., 1 and the number itself (1 and 2). So, it cannot be further factorized.
* Look at the number 8, which is a composite number but not a prime number. So it can be further factorized.
* 8 can be factored as 2 x 2 x 2 x 1.
* Therefore, the factorization of 16 is written as, 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 x 1.

The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6,
9 and 18
18 is a composite number.

18 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is a composite number.

Question 26.
20 _______________
Answer:
The factors of 20 are the numbers that divide 20 exactly without leaving a remainder. In other words, the numbers are multiplied in pairs resulting in the number 20 being the factor of 20. As 20 is an even composite number, it has many factors other than 1 and 20. Thus, the factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20. Similarly, the negative factors of 20 are -1, -2, -4, -5, -10 and -20.
Now we need to write the composite numbers:
Definition: In Mathematics, composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors.
therefore, the composite numbers are 4, 10, and 20.
Hence, these numbers are having more than two factors.

Question 27.
15 ______
Answer:
Factors of 15 divide the original number, wholly. A number or an integer that divides 15 evenly without leaving a remainder, then the number is a factor of 15. As the number 15 is an odd composite number, it has more than two factors. Thus, the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5 and 15.
Now we need to write the composite numbers:
Definition: In Mathematics, composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors.
therefore, 15 is the composite number.
Hence, this number is having more than two factors.

Question 28.
5 _______________
Answer:
Factors of 5 are the real numbers that can divide the original number, uniformly. If ‘x’ is the factor of 5, then ‘x’ divides 5 into equal parts and there is no remainder left.
The factors of 5 are 1 and 5.
Now we need to write the composite numbers:
Definition: In Mathematics, composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors.
therefore, there is no composite number.
Question 29.
17 _____
Answer:
The numbers that divide 17 completely and leave the remainder 0, then the numbers are the factors of 17. In other words, if two numbers are multiplied together and result in 17, then the numbers are the factors of 17. As 17 is a prime number, it has only two factors, such as 1 and the number itself. Hence, the factors of 17 are 1 and 17.
Now we need to write the composite numbers:
Definition: In Mathematics, composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors.
therefore, there is no composite number.

Question 30.
33 _________________
Answer:
Go through the steps given below to learn how to find the factors of 33.
Step 1: First, write the number 33 in your notebook.
Step 2: Find the two numbers, which on multiplication gives 33, suppose 3 and 11, such as 3 × 11 = 33.
Step 3: We know that 3 is a prime number that has only two factors, i.e. 1 and the number itself. So, we cannot factorize it further.
3 = 1 × 3
Step 4:Also, 11 is a prime number and cannot be factored further.
11 = 1 × 11
Step 5: Therefore, the factorization of 33 gives us 1 × 3 × 11.
The unique numbers which are obtained from the above expression are 1, 3, 11, and 33.
Now we need to write the composite numbers:
Definition: In Mathematics, composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors.
therefore, 33 is the composite number.
Hence, this number is having more than two factors.

Question 31.
27 _____
Answer:
The steps to find the factors are:
1. First, write the number 27 in your notebook.
2. Find the two numbers, which on multiplication gives 27, say 3 and 9, such as 3 × 9 = 27.
3. We know 3 is a prime number that has only two factors, i.e. 1 and the number itself. So, we cannot further factorize it. (i.e.) 3 = 1 × 3
4. But 9 is not a prime number and can be further factorized. (i.e.) 9 = 3 × 3 × 1
5. Therefore, the factorization of 27 gives us, 1 × 3 × 3 × 3.
6. Write down all the unique numbers which are obtained here.
7. Factors of 27: 1, 3, 9 and 27.
Now we need to write the composite numbers:
Definition: In Mathematics, composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors.
therefore, 9 and 27 are the composite number.
Hence, these numbers are having more than two factors.

Question 32.
Look at the given numbers in Exercises 26-31.
The composite numbers are ____
Explain your reasoning. _____
Answer:
The above-given numbers are 20, 15, 5, 17, 33, 27
To that we need to write the composite numbers:
Def 1: In Mathematics, composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors.
Def 2: The numbers which can be generated by multiplying the two smallest positive integers and contain at least one divisor other than the number ‘1’ and itself are known as composite numbers. These numbers always have more than two factors.
properties of composite numbers:
The properties of composite numbers are easy to remember.
– Composite numbers have more than two factors
– Composite numbers are evenly divisible by their factors
– Each composite number is a factor in itself
– The smallest composite number is 4
– Each composite number will include at least two prime numbers as its factors (Eg. 10 = 2 x 5, where 2 and 5 are prime numbers)
– Composite numbers are divisible by other composite numbers also
From the above definition and properties we can write the composite numbers:
Therefore, the composite numbers are 20, 15, 27, 33

Use the method given below to find prime numbers.

Question 33.
Find the prime numbers between 1 and 50.

Step 1
1 is neither prime nor composite. So, 1 has been circled. As 2 is the first prime number, it has been underlined. Next, cross out all the numbers that can be divided by 2.

Step 2
3 is the next prime number. Underline it.
Then, cross out all the numbers that can be divided by 3.
Keep underlining the prime numbers and crossing out the numbers that can be divided by the prime numbers until you reach 50.
The prime numbers are ____
Answer:
A prime number is a positive integer having exactly two factors. If p is a prime, then its only factors are necessarily 1 and p itself. Any number that does not follow this is termed a composite number, which can be factored into other positive integers. Another way of defining it is a positive number or integer, which is not a product of any other two positive integers other than 1 and the number itself.
The prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47.
