Find two factors of 15 with a difference of 2.
I have 1 and 5. Is that correct? if not can you please show me how to do it.Thanks!
no
the difference between 1 and 5 is four
try 5 and 3

First, THINK: what are the factors of 15???
= 1 and 15, OR 3 and 15
Second, THINK: which pair of factors has a difference of 2??
15-1 = 14 (so that can't be right)
5-3 = 2 (that works!!! and its the only other possible pair)
so the answer is 3 and 5
To find two factors of 15 with a difference of 2, we can start by listing the factors of 15:
1, 3, 5, 15
Taking the factors one by one, we can check for pairs that have a difference of 2. In this case, the pair that satisfies the condition is 5 and 3.
So, the correct answer is 5 and 3.
To find two factors of 15 with a difference of 2, you can start by listing the factors of 15:
1 x 15 = 15
3 x 5 = 15
In the case of 1 and 5, the difference is actually 4, not 2. So, let's try a different pair. Using 5 and 3:
5 x 3 = 15
Here, the difference between 5 and 3 is indeed 2. Hence, the correct factors would be 5 and 3.
