Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 6 is a composite and it should have prime factors. Now let us know how to calculate the prime factors of 6.

Step 1: The first step is to divide the number 6 with the smallest prime factor, say 2.

6 ÷ 2 = 3

Step 2: Again if you divide 3 by 2, you will get a fractional value. So proceed with the next prime number say 3.

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Finally, you received the number 1 at the end of the division process. So that we cannot proceed further. So, the prime factors of 6 are written as 2 × 3, where 2 and 3 are prime numbers.

It is possible to find the exact number of factors with the help of prime factorisation. The prime factor of the 6 is 2 x 3. The exponent in the prime factorisation is 1 and 1. When you add the number 1 with the exponent, it becomes (1+1)(1+1) = 2 x 2 =4. Therefore, the number 6 has 4 factors
