Peace to all, * means multiply or times/ means divide by Any number N is multiplication of prime numbers in one way only.Example: 12 = 3 * 4 but 4 can still be divided further12 = 3 * 2 * 2 and as we cannot divide the 2 or 3 any further, therefore 12 is made from one 3 and two 2s. these are its prime factors or divisors, or its genes.ALSO 12 = 2 * 6 but 6 can still be divided further12 = 2 * 2 * 3 and as we cannot divide the 2 or 3 any further, therefore 12 is made from two 2s and one 3. these are its prime factors or divisors, or its genes. Since order in multiplication is not important, therefore:12 = 2 * 2 * 3 and no other prime number is needed at all. Think of a prime number an number that cannot be divided any further:The first few primes are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, ... Numbers that can be divided further are called composites (composed from multiplying prime numbers):The first few composite are: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, ... Imam Ali (as), the Commander of the faithfulshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliwas asked: "What number can be divided by all numbers from 1 to 10?" He (as) immediately replied:"Take the number of days in a week and multiply it by the number of days in a month and then multiply it by the number of months in a year, and you will get your answer." N = days per week * days per month * months per yearN = 7 * 30 * 12N = 7 * 360 degrees?N = 7 complete circles? Could this be a hint for why God Al-knowing wants us to circulate Al-Kaa'ba 7 times or 7 * 360 degrees to complete a perfect divisibility by all numbers from 1 to 10? Here is how N can be divided by all numbers from 1 to 10: N = 7 * 30 * 12N = 7 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 2 * 2 * 3 Re-arranging all N prime factors (three 2s, two 3s, one 5, and one 7): N = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 7 N is divisible by1 because every number is divisible by 12 because part of its prime factors is 23 because part of its prime factors is 34 because part of its prime factors is 2 * 25 because part of its prime factors is 56 because part of its prime factors is 2 * 37 because part of its prime factors is 78 because part of its prime factors is 2 * 2 * 29 because part of its prime factors is 2 * 210 because part of its prime factors is 2 * 5 For an easy explanation of prime numbers, please see: http://heliwave.com/Primes.txt For my latest research findings please see: http://heliwave.com/114.txt God > 114.txt
