Divide 30 by each number.
If it divides evenly with no remainder, then the number is a factor of 30.
Then if you find a factor, check if the factor is also a prime number.
OpenStudy (arcticfoxzx87):
Its B
OpenStudy (flame73033):
It might be B. or C.
OpenStudy (arcticfoxzx87):
yep b or c
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
\(30 \div 4 = 7.5\) 4 is not a factor.
\(30 \div 5 = 6\) 5 is a factor.
\(30 \div 6 = 5\) 6 is a factor.
\(30 \div 11 = 2.7272... \) 11 is not a factor.
Only two choices are factors of 30, 5 and 6.
Is 5 or 6 a prime number?
