Option 2 : Number of factors of a given number is always countable.
A mathematical statement is a rule or generalization in mathematics that is further used as a starting point for the other concepts related to it. A number of factors of a given number are always countable is the best example of a precise mathematical statement because:
- Every number in mathematics has a limited number of factors and it can be counted.
- For example, 12 has factors like 2,3,4,12, and 1 which are countable and limited.
- Factors of any number can be found through the factorization method which means dividing the big number till no more division is possible.
- For example if we take 20 we start by diving by 2 and the again by 2 then by 5 now 1 is remaining and we can't divide it further.
- Here we stop and count the factors.
Hence number of factors of a given number is always countable is the best example of a precise mathematical statement.
On the other hand all the other given statements are not precise because they are not exact and totally true to be accepted as a correct mathematical statement.
