Question

What is a composite number greater than 40 whose prime factorization contains 3 prime numbers that do not repeat

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this is to pick 3 prime numbers and multiply them to form a composite number.

3*5*13
3*5= 15, 15*13=195

Final answer: 195

Answer 2

A composite number greater than 40 whose prime factorization contains 3 prime numbers that do not repeat is:

42

Explanation:

42 is a composite number greater than 40.

Also, 42=2×3×7

2,3 and 7 are three distinct prime numbers.

Hence, a composite number greater than 40 whose prime factorization contains 3 prime numbers that do not repeat is:

42
