All the sides are 20 cm resulting in the perimeter being 80
The 5 is the coefficient...
The largest number is 952. I'll tell you why...
7*8=56
------------
56*18=7*8*18=7*8*3*6=1008 (4 digits)
56*17=7*8*17=952 (3 digits)
When you end up with prime numbers for example
If you factored out 12 you could say 3x4. Now 3 is a prime number so it cant be broken down any more. You can break down 4 into 2x2. 2 is a prime number so cant be broken down any further. When 12 is factored out it is 2x2x3
