Question

Here are two definitions of a prime number:

A. A prime number of squares on a Jamboard makes only one rectangle.

A prime number has exactly two factors.

Explain why both definitions say the same thing.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and breadth of the rectangle that is formed corresponds to the factors of the prime number.

For example take the number 2. It has two factors,i.e., 1 and 2.

If u take two squares, you can arrange it in two possible ways: either vertically or horizontally.
