    Integer Representation Through Multiplication of Integers

    Factors may help me ... I"m not sure For example, the factors of 57 are: -57, -19, -3, -1, 1, 3, 19, and 57. So I can get 57 a few ways including 1 x 3 x 19. I was hoping there we a few more sets that would work for numbers like 257, but it seems that only integers that multiple up to...

    Integer Representation Through Multiplication of Integers

    Good point, I should have been more clear. Sorry about that. 1 x 257, is correct, but I'm looking for the other sets of possible numbers as well. I'm interested in studying many integers and the sets of integers that multiple up to them. So, how can I determine the other sets of integers...

    Integer Representation Through Multiplication of Integers

    Hello, Can an integer always be represented through the multiplication of two or more integers? (Are all integers divisible by some set of 2 or more integers (- or +)?) For example, 8 is can be represented by 1 x 8, 2 x 4 and 2 x 2 x 2. But what about 257 or even - integers? I'm trying...
