Re: How old are you bobbym?
Hi Sarah;
Okay here is the problem.
Do you know how to factor a number?

Re: How old are you bobbym?
Hi Sarah;
Lets look at the numbers for a second.
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc
There are basically 2 types of numbers, they are called prime and composite. Follow me?
I will show you how to do this one and then I am going to send you to:

When you are done there come back here.

Re: How old are you bobbym?
Some numbers can be broken down into smaller parts and the rest cannot.
For instance:
20 can be broken down into 4 * 5 = 20
The 4 can be broken down into 2 * 2 = 4
The 5 cannot be broken down into anything smaller. So 20 is actually 2 * 2 * 5, try it out for yourself!
Now we get to the 100. But only if you are okay with what has only been said so far.

Re: How old are you bobbym?
100 is actually 10 * 10 = 100. Now each 10 is 2*5 = 10
So 100 is really 2 * 5 * 2 * 5 = 100
Try it out for yourself.

Hi;
I am done. But are you ready?
100 is actually 10 * 10 = 100. Now each 10 is 2*5 = 10
So 100 is really 2 * 5 * 2 * 5 = 100
Try it out for yourself. Do you understand up to here?

Re: How old are you bobbym?
Remember what we did for 20?
20 can be broken down into 4 * 5 = 20
The 4 can be broken down into 2 * 2 = 4
The 5 cannot be broken down into anything smaller. So 20 is actually 2 * 2 * 5
