Math Calculator: Primes, GCF, LCM, Statistics, Logs

Key facts

Every whole number greater than 1 is a product of primes in exactly one way, apart from order: 360 = 2³ × 3² × 5.
The number of factors comes from the exponents: add 1 to each and multiply, so 360 has 4 × 3 × 2 = 24 factors.
A number is a perfect square exactly when every exponent in its prime factorization is even: 3,600 = 2⁴ × 3² × 5².

Whole number

Any whole number up to 20 digits.

Try

360 as a product of primes

2³ × 3² × 5

360 = 2³ × 3² × 5, so it has 24 factors and is composite.

Worked example: 360Divide by primes, then read off the factors and the square root

Divide by the smallest prime that goes in exactly, and repeat with the quotient until it is 1.
360 ÷ 2 = 180
180 ÷ 2 = 90
90 ÷ 2 = 45
45 ÷ 3 = 15
15 ÷ 3 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1
Collect the primes you divided by; repeated ones become powers.
360 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 2³ × 3² × 5
Count the factors from the exponents: add 1 to each and multiply, (3 + 1) × (2 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 24. Each factor picks how many of each prime to use.
360 is not a perfect square (not every exponent is even), so √360 is irrational: about 18.973666.
The nearest primes: 359 below and 367 above.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the number facts calculator show?

Type any whole number up to 20 digits and it shows the number as a product of primes, whether it is prime, how many factors it has and what they add up to, its square root (exact for a perfect square) and the nearest primes, with the division steps that find them.

Which calculators are in this family?

GCF and LCM, all factors of a number, a prime number checker and prime factorization; mean, median and mode, standard deviation and variance; and exponents and logarithms. Pick one from the Calculator menu at the top of the tool, or open the full list below.

How big can the numbers be?

The factor and prime tools take whole numbers up to 10²⁰ and work with exact big integers, using a Miller–Rabin test for primes and Pollard’s rho method to split large numbers. Exponents give exact answers up to 100,000 digits.

Are the statistics exact?

The mean, median and both variances are worked out as exact fractions from the numbers you type, so 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 average exactly 0.2. Only the standard deviation, a square root, is rounded, and it is correct to every digit shown.
