Many properties of a natural number n can be seen or directly computed from the prime factorization of n.. The multiplicity of a prime factor p of n is the largest exponent m for which p m divides n.
In the multiset {a, a, b}, the element a has multiplicity 2, and b has multiplicity 1. In the multiset {a, a, a, b, b, b}, a and b both have multiplicity 3. These objects are all different when viewed as multisets, although they are the same set, since they all consist of the same elements.
The additive persistence of 2718 is 2: first we find that 2 + 7 + 1 + 8 = 18, and then that 1 + 8 = 9. The multiplicative persistence of 39 is 3, because it takes three steps to reduce 39 to a single digit: 39 → 27 → 14 → 4. Also, 39 is the smallest number of multiplicative persistence 3.
It is also not a multiple of 5 because its last digit is 7. The next odd divisor to be tested is 7. One has 77 = 7 · 11, and thus n = 2 · 3 2 · 7 · 11. This shows that 7 is prime (easy to test directly). Continue with 11, and 7 as a first divisor candidate. As 7 2 > 11, one has finished. Thus 11 is prime, and the prime factorization is ...
Any nth degree polynomial has exactly n roots in the complex plane, if counted according to multiplicity. So if f ( x ) is a polynomial with real coefficients which does not have a root at 0 (that is a polynomial with a nonzero constant term) then the minimum number of nonreal roots is equal to
[2] [3] The integers k of this form are sometimes referred to as totatives of n. For example, the totatives of n = 9 are the six numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8. They are all relatively prime to 9, but the other three numbers in this range, 3, 6, and 9 are not, since gcd(9, 3) = gcd(9, 6) = 3 and gcd(9, 9) = 9.
8; 7 + 1; 6 + 2; 5 + 3; 5 + 2 + 1; 4 + 3 + 1; This is a general property. For each positive number, the number of partitions with odd parts equals the number of partitions with distinct parts, denoted by q(n). [8] [9] This result was proved by Leonhard Euler in 1748 [10] and later was generalized as Glaisher's theorem.
An example where it does not is given by the isolated singularity of x 2 + y 3 z + z 3 = 0 at the origin. Blowing it up gives the singularity x 2 + y 2 z + yz 3 = 0. It is not immediately obvious that this new singularity is better, as both singularities have multiplicity 2 and are given by the sum of monomials of degrees 2, 3, and 4.
