Description

In this assessment, students explore factors of powers of prime numbers (2, 3, 5, etc.) and are guided through a systematic process to find a pattern for the number of factors that powers of prime numbers have. Then, using their findings, they investigate the number of factors of any positive natural number and discover, apply, and justify a method that allows listing all factors of any given number.
