Algebra.Com's Answer #76955 by bucky(2189)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two obvious factors of 116 are 1 and 116 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Next, notice that 116 is an even number, so it is divisible by 2. When you divide it by 2 \n" ); document.write( "the answer is 58. This means that 116 is also divisible by 2 and 58 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "But 58 is also an even number, so it is divisible by 2. When you do that division, you get \n" ); document.write( "2 and 29 which indicates that 2 * 2 * 29 (which is equivalent to 4 * 29) also multiplies \n" ); document.write( "out to be 116. Therefore, 116 is divisible by 4 and 29. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "29 is a prime number, so it doesn't factor into any other numbers. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "In summary, 116 is divisible by the following numbers: 1, 2, 4, 29, 58, and 116. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to understand the problem a little better. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
