Sample text

SOLUTION 1-3 Here’s a useful hint for finding the prime factors of any natural number n: Unless n is a prime number, all of its prime factors are less than or equal to n/2. In this case n ¼ 80, so we can be certain that all the prime factors of 80 are less than or equal to 40. Finding the prime factors is largely a matter of repeating this divide-by-2 process over and over, and making educated guesses to break down the resulting numbers into prime factors. We can see that 80 ¼ 2 Â 40. Breaking it down further: 80 ¼ 2 Â ð2 Â 20Þ ¼ 2 Â 2 Â ð2 Â 10Þ ¼2Â2Â2Â2Â5 PROBLEM 1-4 Is the number 123 prime?

Pm p1 Â p2 Â p3 Â . . Â pm ¼ n The numbers p1, p2, p3, . . , pm are called the prime factors of the natural number n. Every natural number n has one, but only one, set of prime factors. This is an important principle known as the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. PROBLEM 1-3 What are the prime factors of 80? SOLUTION 1-3 Here’s a useful hint for finding the prime factors of any natural number n: Unless n is a prime number, all of its prime factors are less than or equal to n/2. In this case n ¼ 80, so we can be certain that all the prime factors of 80 are less than or equal to 40.

Another example is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, a constant commonly called pi and symbolized p. 14159. The set of real numbers is more ‘‘dense’’ than the set of rational numbers. How many times more dense? Twice? A dozen times? A hundred times? It turns out that the set of real numbers, when depicted as the points on a line, is infinitely more dense than the set of real numbers. This is hard to imagine, and a proof of it is beyond the scope of this book. You might think of it this way: Even if you lived forever, you would die before you could name all the real numbers.
