Which number is a factor of 30 and also a prime number? A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi. We start by listing out factors of 30. Did you already get to that?

OpenStudy (arcticfoxzx87):

hey can i help

OpenStudy (arcticfoxzx87):

i think it might be B.

OpenStudy (eliasag):

it is B.

OpenStudy (arcticfoxzx87):

i thought so

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only B. Can't be C. 6 is not a prime number

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.
