This chart lists some candidates for the smallest number with 100 factors. We can find numbers that have 100 factors by using prime factorizations. If you convert 100 from base 10 to these other bases, you will get:

Here’s the ONE non-trivial way 100 is the difference of two squares: Can you find the greatest common factor of any of the other triples? That last one is called a Primitive Pythagorean triple because the greatest common factor of 100, 2499, and 2501 is one.

What about the factors of all the numbers from 1 to 100? Here’s a clever chart giving those factors. Here are a few of several possible factor trees that can be made for the number 100: Adding one to each and multiplying we get (2 + 1)(2 + 1) = 3 × 3 = 9. The exponents in the prime factorization are 2 and 2.Prime factorization: 100 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5, which can be written 100 = 2²× 5².Here is the basic factoring information for the number 100. What about students in 4th or 5th grade or even middle school or high school? Can older students celebrate the 100th day of school? I think so! Share some of the following information with them: suggested in MathGeekMama’s 100 Math Ideas for the 100th Day of School. You will also love the games, puzzles, art projects, etc. This song would also go very well with Paula’s 100¢ project above: Third graders could learn these multiplication facts on the 100th day of school. It happens to teach important multiplication facts, including some about the number 100. Her post includes detailed instructions, templates of everything needed to complete the project, and links showing completed projects. In the video near the end of her post, she explains her 100¢ art project. Her project would also be perfect for the 100th day of school for the mid-elementary grades.
#List of prime numbers to 100 update
I just had to update this post and share her work with you. My blogging friend, Paula Krieg, designed a fabulous art project for second-grade students. They bring collections of 100 items to school, and they also complete many 100th day worksheets. They read books about 100 and the 100th day of school. Kindergarten and first-grade students from coast to coast celebrate the 100th Day of school.
