Card 1Prime Factorization

Find the prime factorization of 32760 using a factor tree method

Answer

Step 1: Divide 32760 by 2 → 16380 Step 2: Divide 16380 by 2 → 8190 Step 3: Divide 8190 by 2 → 4095 Step 4: Divide 4095 by 3 → 1365 Step 5: Divide 1365 by 3 → 455 Step 6: Divide 455 by 5 → 91 Step 7: D…

Card 2Prime Factorization

Express 123456789 in prime factor form if 123456789 = 3² × 3803 × 3607. Verify that 3803 and 3607 are prime.

Answer

Prime factorization: 123456789 = 3² × 3803 × 3607 To verify 3803 is prime: - Check divisibility by primes up to √3803 ≈ 61.7 - Test primes: 2 (odd, so no), 3 (3+8+0+3=14, not divisible), 5 (doesn't e…

Card 3Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

State the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. Why is it important?

Answer

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of primes, and this factorisation is unique, except for the order in which the prime factors oc…

Card 4Prime Factorization

Find the prime factorization of 2520

Answer

Using the division method: Step 1: 2520 ÷ 2 = 1260 Step 2: 1260 ÷ 2 = 630 Step 3: 630 ÷ 2 = 315 Step 4: 315 ÷ 3 = 105 Step 5: 105 ÷ 3 = 35 Step 6: 35 ÷ 5 = 7 Step 7: 7 ÷ 7 = 1 Prime factorization: 25…

Card 5Theorem 1.2 Application

Solve: If 2 divides a², then does 2 divide a? Prove using Theorem 1.2

Answer

Yes, if 2 divides a², then 2 must divide a. Here's the proof: Given: 2 divides a² (i.e., a² = 2k for some integer k) By Theorem 1.2: Let p be a prime. If p divides a², then p divides a. Proof reaso…

Card 6Irrationality Proof

Prove that √2 is irrational using proof by contradiction

Answer

Proof by contradiction: Assumption: Assume √2 is rational (opposite of what we want to prove) Step 1: If √2 is rational, then √2 = a/b where a and b are coprime integers (no common factors except 1)…

Card 7Prime Factorization

Find the prime factorization of 1771. (Hint: 1771 = 7 × 11 × 23)

Answer

Using the division method: Step 1: Check if divisible by 2 - No (1771 is odd) Step 2: Check if divisible by 3 - 1+7+7+1=16, not divisible by 3 Step 3: Check if divisible by 5 - No (doesn't end in 0 or…

Card 8Applications of FTOA

When do you use the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic? Provide 3 applications.

Answer

Applications of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: 1. FINDING HCF/GCD (Highest Common Factor / Greatest Common Divisor) Example: Find HCF of 72 and 120 - 72 = 2³ × 3² - 120 = 2³ × 3 × 5 …
