==Explanation== | ==Explanation== | ||
− | + | The title text explains the comic. An {{w|anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic}} number 70 is blown into its {{w|prime factor}}s (2, 5 and 7). {{w|Prime number}}s are numbers which can not be divided by any number other than itself and 1. Factors of a number are numbers which can be multiplied together to produce that number (2x5x7 = 70). 70 has other factors, including 1, 10, 14, 35 and 70, but 2, 5 and 7 are the only factors which are prime. All other factors of 70 (other than 1) can be formed by multiplying two of the prime factors together. | |
