look at the following sentences: 2x7 and 7x3 Are these #s all factors of the same product? Explain your answer.
To determine if the numbers in the given sentences, 2x7 and 7x3, are factors of the same product, we need to first understand what factors and products are.
Factors are numbers that evenly divide another number. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 since they can divide 12 evenly without leaving a remainder.
A product, on the other hand, is the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. For example, the product of 2 and 7 is 14, while the product of 7 and 3 is 21.
Now let's look at the given sentences: 2x7 and 7x3.
In the first sentence, 2x7, we are multiplying 2 and 7 together, resulting in the product 14.
In the second sentence, 7x3, we are multiplying 7 and 3 together, which gives us the product 21.
Since the products of these two sentences are different (14 and 21), we can conclude that the numbers 2x7 and 7x3 are not factors of the same product.
