is greater

and are equal

is greater

Correct answer:

and are equal

Explanation:

has only three factors of

 

and

 

also has three factors of

 

So the number of their factors are the same

Example Question #25 : Numbers And Operations

is greater

is greater

and are equal

Correct answer:

is greater

Explanation:

The factors of are . So has ten factors.

 

The factors of are . So has eight factors.

 

So is greater than .

Example Question #21 : Factors / Multiples

If we consider the factors of  as a set of numbers, compare the mean and the median of the set.

Possible Answers:

The mean is greater

It is not possible to tell based on the information given.

The median is greater

The mean and the median are equal

Correct answer:

The mean is greater

Explanation:

Factors of  are . So we should compare the mean and the median of the following set of numbers:

 

 

The mean of a set of data is given by the sum of the data, divided by the total number of values in the set:

 

 

The median is the middle value of a set of data containing an odd number of values which is  in this problem. So the mean is greater than the median.

Example Question #27 : Numbers And Operations

If we consider the factors of  as a set of numbers, compare the mean and the range of the set.

Possible Answers:

The range is greater

The mean is greater

The mean and the range are equal

It is not possible to tell based on the information given.

Correct answer:

The range is greater

Explanation:

Factors of  are . So we should compare the median and the range of the following set of numbers:

 

 

The range is the difference between the lowest and the highest values. So we have:

 

 

The mean of a set of data is given by the sum of the data, divided by the total number of values in the set.

 

 

So the range is greater than the mean.

 

Example Question #13 : How To Factor A Number

If we consider the factors of  as a set of numbers, compare the median and the range of the set.

Possible Answers:

The range is greater

The median is greater

The range and the median are equal

It is not possible to tell based on the information given.

Correct answer:

The range is greater

Explanation:

Factors of  are . So we should compare the median and the range of the following set of numbers:

 

 

The range is the difference between the lowest and the highest values. So we have:

 

 

The median is the average of the two middle values of a set of data with an even number of values:

 

 

So the range is greater than the median.

Example Question #29 : Numbers And Operations

Which one is greater?

 

The sum of the factors of

The sum of the factors of

Explanation:

Factors of are:

 

Factors of  are:

 

So  is greater than

Example Question #30 : Numbers And Operations

If we consider the factors of  as a set of numbers, which one is greater?

 

The range of the set

Sum of the median and the mean of the set

Possible Answers:

and are equal

is greater

is greater

It is not possible to tell based on the information given.

Correct answer:

is greater

Explanation:

Factors of  are . So we have:

 

 

The range is the difference between the lowest and the highest values. So we have:

 

 

The mean of a set of data is given by the sum of the data, divided by the total number of values in the set.

 

 

The median is the average of the two middle values of a set of data with an even number of values:

 

 

 

So we have:

 

 

So is greater than

Example Question #31 : Numbers And Operations

If we consider the factors of  as a set of numbers, which one is greater?

 

Product of the the median and the mean of the set

The range of the set

Possible Answers:

and are equal

It is not possible to tell based on the information given.

is greater

is greater

Correct answer:

is greater

Explanation:

Factors of  are . So we have:

 

 

The range is the difference between the lowest and the highest values. So we have:

 

 

The mean of a set of data is given by the sum of the data, divided by the total number of values in the set.

 

 

The median is the middle value of a set of data containing an odd number of values:

 

 

 

So we have:

 

 

So is greater than

Example Question #32 : Numbers And Operations

If we consider the factors of  as a set of numbers, which one is greater?

 

The mean of the set

Ratio of the range and the median of the set

Possible Answers:

and are equal

It is not possible to tell based on the information given.

is greater

 is greater

Correct answer:

is greater

Explanation:

Factors of  are . So we have:

 

 

The range is the difference between the lowest and the highest values. So we have:

 

 

The median is the middle value of a set of data containing an odd number of values, which is in this problem. So the ratio of the range and the median is:

 

 

The mean of a set of data is given by the sum of the data, divided by the total number of values in the set.

 

 

 So  is greater than 

Example Question #33 : Numbers And Operations
