Question

how do i factor 900-1?

Answer 1

(900,1) 900 x 1 = 900
(90,10) 90 x 10 = 900
(180,5) etc...
(300,3)
(450,2)
(100,9)
(150,6)
(75,12)
(30,30)
(225,4)
(25,36)
(15,60)
(18,50)
(45,20)

Answer 2

Divide by the smallest prime numbers and ascend...

900/2 = 450
450/2 = 225
225/3 = 75
75/3 = 25
25/5 = 5
5/5 = 5

900 = 2²+3²+5²
The factors will come in pairs (x*y).

For x you can have 2^0, 2 or 2² * 3^0, 3 or 3² * 5^0, 5 or 5² = 3x3x3 = 27.

So you can have 27 different factors, and y will not interest us as itr will be a repeat of x's other terms.
