Question

Brent knows that the six digit number he uses to open his computer is the prime factorization of 5005 if each digit of the code increases from left to right

Answer 1

The code is 571113

Explanation:

The problem requires that we find the prime factors of 5005

1. 5005 is a multiple of 5 since it ends with a number 5

5 is one of the numbers

Dividing 5005/5 = 1001

the next prime number after 5 is 7

so 1001/7= 143

7 is one of the numbers

the next prime number after 7 is 11

so 143/11= 13

13 is one of the numbers

In all the prime factorization of 5005 is found as follows

5,7 11,13

Combining these numbers gives the 6 digit code

571113
