Textbook p9 #25:
The Prime factorisation of a number is 2^4 X 3^5 X 7^2 X 11.
Write down 3 factors of the number that are greater than 100.
(Hint: 16 X 11 = 176, which is a factor.)
2^4 X 3^5 X 7^2 X 11 = 2095632
The factors of 2095632 is 176,538 and 891
The Prime factorisation of two numbers are 2 X 3^2 X 7^3 X 13 and3 X 7^2 X 13^3 X 17 .
Write down 3 common factors of the numbers.
2 X 3^2 X 7^3 X 13 =80262
3 X 7^2 X 13^3 X 17 =5490303
The three common factors are 1,3,7
