Answer: Stomach problems are something we can all relate to, unfortunately. Heartburn, abdominal cramping, gas, bloating, and diarrhea, among other stomach disturbances, are very common and are some of the chief complaints for people buying over-the-counter (OTC) medications. There are many products on the market to treat symptoms of mild gastrointestinal disturbances.
252 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a prime number. The 18 factors of 252 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 28, 36, 42, 63, 84, 126, and 252. The factor pairs of 252 are 1 x 252, 2 x 126, 3 x 84, 4 x 63, 6 x 42, 7 x 36, 9 x 28, 12 x 21, and 14 x 18.
For example, in the problem 2 x 3, you have three sets of two. Since 2 + 2 + 2 = 6, then 2 x 3 = 6. Likewise, for the problem 6 x 4, there are four sets of six. If you add together all four sets (6 + 6 + 6 + 6), you'll get 24, which is the product of 6 x 4. It helps to visualize this process with concrete objects.
