<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.

What is the gcf of 25 and 90
Yuliya22 [10]
25 = 5^2
90 = 2 . 3 . 3 . 5

GCF is not as greedy as LCM.
GCF is just on a diet, so it takes the same number and the smallest amount.

25 and 90 both have 5.
5^2 or 5 ?
Take the smaller one.
GCF = 5

Sauron [17]

Answer:

the answer is A because the cost of the more expensive one is 15+20=35 multiplied by 3 which will give me =$105

And the cheaper one is 15+20=35 multiplied by 1.50 = which is 52.5

so the amount more of the choice for the more expensive one is 105-52.5=52.5.

the answer is 52.50.
