How to find the Factors of 2
- 2 is a prime number.
- Prime factorization: 2 is prime.
- The exponent in the prime factorization is 1. Adding one to that exponent we get (1 + 1) = 2. Therefore 2 has exactly 2 factors.
- The factors of 2 are: 1 and 2
- Factor pairs of 2 are: 1x2
- 2 has no exponents greater than 1 in its prime factorization, so √2 cannot be simplified.
