m is a divisor of n (also called m divides n, or n is divisible by m) if all prime factors of m have at least the same multiplicity in n. The divisors of n are all products of some or all prime factors of n (including the empty product 1 of no prime factors). The number of divisors can be computed by increasing all multiplicities by 1 and then ...
The same method can also be illustrated with a Venn diagram as follows, with the prime factorization of each of the two numbers demonstrated in each circle and all factors they share in common in the intersection. The lcm then can be found by multiplying all of the prime numbers in the diagram. Here is an example: 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3,
The tables below list all of the divisors of the numbers 1 to 1000. A divisor of an integer n is an integer m, for which n / m is again an integer (which is necessarily also a divisor of n). For example, 3 is a divisor of 21, since 21/7 = 3 (and therefore 7 is also a divisor of 21). If m is a divisor of n, then so is − m.
Greatest common divisor. In mathematics, the greatest common divisor (GCD), also known as greatest common factor (GCF), of two or more integers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers. For two integers x, y, the greatest common divisor of x and y is denoted . For example, the GCD of 8 and 12 is ...
The Goldbach conjecture verification project reports that it has computed all primes smaller than 4×10 18. [2] That means 95,676,260,903,887,607 primes [3] (nearly 10 17), but they were not stored. There are known formulae to evaluate the prime-counting function (the number of primes smaller than a given value) faster than computing the primes.
If none of its prime factors are repeated, it is called squarefree. (All prime numbers and 1 are squarefree.) For example, 72 = 2 3 × 3 2, all the prime factors are repeated, so 72 is a powerful number. 42 = 2 × 3 × 7, none of the prime factors are repeated, so 42 is squarefree. Euler diagram of numbers under 100:
The three factor-pairs of 18 are: (1, 18), (2, 9), and (3, 6). All three factor pairs will produce triples using the above equations. s = 1 , t = 18 produces the triple [7, 24, 25] because x = 6 + 1 = 7 , y = 6 + 18 = 24 , z = 6 + 1 + 18 = 25 .
To test divisibility by any number expressed as the product of prime factors , we can separately test for divisibility by each prime to its appropriate power. For example, testing divisibility by 24 (24 = 8×3 = 2 3 ×3) is equivalent to testing divisibility by 8 (2 3 ) and 3 simultaneously, thus we need only show divisibility by 8 and by 3 to ...
