Example Question #7 : How To Factor A Number
Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The number of factors of 169
(b) The number of factors of 121
(b) is greater
(a) is greater
It is impossible to tell from the information given
(a) and (b) are equal
(a) and (b) are equal
Each number has only three factors. 121 has 1, 11, and 121 as factors; 169 has 1, 13, and 169 as factors. The answer is that the quantities are equal.
Example Question #8 : How To Factor A Number
