Jesse lists four factor pairs of 72 as 2 × 36 , 4 × 18 , 6 × 12 , and 8 × 9 . Which factor pair has a prime number?
The factor pair that has a prime number is 2 × 36.
The composite number 50 lies between what and what
The composite number 50 lies between the prime numbers 47 and 53.
To determine which factor pair has a prime number, we need to check if any of the numbers in the pairs are prime numbers.
A prime number is a number greater than 1 that can only be divided by 1 and itself without leaving a remainder.
Let's go through the four factor pairs given and determine if any of them have a prime number:
1. 2 × 36: 2 is a prime number, so this factor pair has a prime number.
2. 4 × 18: 4 is not a prime number because it can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder.
3. 6 × 12: 6 is not a prime number because it can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder.
4. 8 × 9: Neither 8 nor 9 are prime numbers because they can be divided by numbers other than 1 and themselves without leaving a remainder.
Therefore, the factor pair with a prime number is 2 × 36.
