Why can two prime numbers only have one common factor?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
8 0

A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. For example, 13 is a prime number because the only factors of 13 are 1 and 13. The number 8 is not prime because it has four factors: 1, 2, 4 and 8. The number 1 is not a prime number because it only has one factor (itself).

Kelsey solved the following equation:
Tems11 [23]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.

In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.

In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.

In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.
