the question says: write down all factors of 6
Show that the sum of all the factors of 6 is equal to 2 x 6
(i got the first part right with the factors but i don't know how to do the second part)
First part:
The factors of 6, including 6 itself, are:
1,2,3,6.
Second part:
1+2+3+6=12 (=2*6)
By the way, 6 is a perfect number, namely the sum of the factors (excluding 6 itself) is equal to the number itself.
The next perfect number is 28 (1+2+4+7+14 = 28)
To show that the sum of all factors of 6 is equal to 2 x 6, we need to calculate the sum of all the factors and compare it to 2 x 6.
Step 1: Write down all the factors of 6.
The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.
Step 2: Calculate the sum of all the factors.
1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12
Step 3: Compare the sum of the factors to 2 x 6.
2 x 6 = 12
Step 4: Conclusion.
The sum of all the factors of 6 (1 + 2 + 3 + 6) is indeed equal to 2 x 6 (12). Therefore, we have shown that the sum of all factors of 6 is equal to 2 x 6.
To show that the sum of all the factors of 6 is equal to 2 x 6, we will first list all the factors of 6. Then, we will calculate the sum of these factors and compare it with 2 x 6.
First, let's find all the factors of 6. Factors are the numbers that divide evenly into another number. In this case, we need to find the numbers that divide evenly into 6.
The factors of 6 are:
1, 2, 3, and 6.
Now, let's calculate the sum of these factors:
1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12
The sum of the factors of 6 is 12.
Next, we can compare this sum with 2 x 6:
2 x 6 = 12
We can see that the sum of the factors of 6 (12) is indeed equal to 2 x 6 (also 12).
Therefore, we have shown that the sum of all the factors of 6 is equal to 2 x 6.
