Through these simple examples, we can observe that certain numbers have a unique property of having exactly two factors: 1 and the number itself. Upon observation, you'll find that again there are only two ways: keeping all 7 marbles together or arranging them into individual groups of 1 marble each. Similarly, in how many ways can you arrange them in equal groups? Now, let's consider another scenario with 7 marbles.
How many different ways can you arrange them in equal groups?īy carefully examining the marbles, you'll notice that there are only two ways to arrange them: you can either keep all 5 marbles together as a single group or separate them into individual groups of 1 marble each. Let's consider a scenario with marbles to understand it better.
The concept of prime numbers is fascinating and can be explored through simple visualizations.
