Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get given number.
All possible factorizations of number 18 by two factors are:
- 18=1·18;
- 18=2·9;
- 18=3·6.
Answer: 1 and 18, 2 and 9, 3 and 6.
8 + 3 (4 - n )
n= 3
8 + 3( 4-3)
8 + 3 * 1
8 + 3 = 11
I conclude that the sum will be even because any even number can be represented by 2n where n is a whole number
and even numbers are 2 apart, so
the sum of the first 15 are
2n+2(n+1)+2(n+2) etc until we get to 2(n+14)
we can undistribute the 2 from all of them and get
2(n+n+1+n+2...n+14)
and we are sure that whatever is in the parenthasees is a whole number because whole+whole=whole
therefor, the sum is even
if you did want to find the sum then
an=2n
the 15th even number is 30
the first is 2
S15=15(2+30)/2=15(32)/2=15(16)=240
which is even
