Jesse lists four factor pairs of 72 as 2 × 36 , 4 × 18 , 6 × 12 , and 8 × 9 . Which factor pair has a prime number?(1 point)

Answer 1

Among the factor pairs of 72 that Jesse listed:

1. \(2 \times 36\) - Here, 2 is a prime number.
2. \(4 \times 18\) - Neither 4 nor 18 is a prime number.
3. \(6 \times 12\) - Neither 6 nor 12 is a prime number.
4. \(8 \times 9\) - Neither 8 nor 9 is a prime number.

Therefore, the factor pair \(2 \times 36\) includes a prime number (which is 2).
