Q3 · 1 3 5 9 15 45 The list shows the six factors of 45
3 1 3 5 9 15 45 The list shows the six factors of 45. This is a method for finding how many factors a number has. • Write the number as the product of its prime factors in index form. • Add one to each of the powers and multiply these numbers together.
