Prime factors are factors of a composite number that are indivisible except by the number 1 or the number itself. The answers to your questions are the following:

1. Yes, it is possible especially for very large numbers. 
2&3. No, because as mentioned previously, the default prime factors of numbers are 1 and the number itself. For example, 2 is a prime number. Its factors are 1 and 2.
4. Prime factorization are useful in fields of encryption. They make use of the basic prime numbers for the arithmetic modulus with the general equation: n=pq.

A store sold 2.5 times as many footballs as basketballs last year. What is the number of footballs sold for every basketball sol
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here.  We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is

1 bball = 2.5 fballs

This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:

1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs

or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold.  Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.

What percentage of the blocks is shaded in the picture?
emmasim [6.3K]
Hello! So the blocks are lined up in rows of 8. When you count the number of rows, there are 10 of them. 3 rows of 8 blocks are shaded out of 10 of them. That's 24 blocks shaded out of 80, because 8 * 10 is 80, and 3 * 8 is 24. Let's divide. 24/80 is 0.3.Let's multiply that by 100 to get it in percent form. 0.3 * 100 is 30. There. 30% of blocks are shaded in the picture.
