1. Find the prime factorization of the following numbers:

a. 21
b. 56
2. Write the first four common multiples of:
a. 6 and 12
b. 3 and 5
3. A proper factor of a number is any factor of the number except the number itself. So, if our factors of 10 were 1, 2,
5, and 10, the proper factors of the number 10 are 1, 2, and 5. The sum of the proper factors of a number may be
greater than, less than or equal to the number. Mathematicians use this idea to classify numbers as abundant,
deficient or perfect. Each whole number greater than 1 falls into one of these three categories.
a. Draw and label three circles as shown below. The numbers 12, 15, and 6 have been placed in the appropriate
circles.

Use your factor list to determine what each label means. Then, write each whole number from 3 to 30 in the
correct circle.
b. Are the labels appropriate? Why or why not?
c. In which circle does 36 belong?
d. In which circle does 55 belong?
4. Find the product of the factors of 12.
5. State whether the following statements are true or false.
a. Zero can be part of the set of integers. 3
e. The fraction can be part of the natural
