The number 1,001 is the product of the primes 7, 11, and 13
Knowing this,
What is the prime factorization of 30,030?

a, ${3 \cdot 7\cdot 10\cdot 13}$
b. ${30\cdot 7\cdot 11\cdot 13}$
c. ${2 \cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot 11\cdot 13}$
d. ${3\cdot 7\cdot 10\cdot 11\cdot 13}$
e. ${2\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot 11\cdot 13}$

Ok I never studied number theory so don't know theorems
but a b and d don't have all primes, by observation c won't make it
so that leaves e

I hope

Not bad. I'd say take a look at a couple of factors. It's clearly divisible by 3. It's also clearly divisible by 10 = 2 x 5, so you are left with e).

You are told that "1001 is the product of the primes 7, 11, and 13" and 30030= 30(1001).
So 30030 is 30(7*11*13) and 30= 3(10)= 2*3*5. 30030= 2*3*5*7*11*13
 
ok weird i didn't see that
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
