Question

calculate the answer when
the largest prime number that is a factor of 35
is multiplied by
the smallest prime number that is a factor of 15

Answer 1

Answer:

The prime factors of 35 are 5 and 7.

A prime factor is a whole number with only 2 distinct whole number factors, 1 and itself. 1 is not a prime number because its only distinct whole factor is 1. A prime number cannot be divisible by any other prime numbers, just as 5 and 7 are not divisible by 2 or 3, and 7 is not divisible by 5.

Therefore, the prime factors are 5 and 7.
