#14 Factor graphs
Set by Katie Steckles
To construct a factor graph, we dot numbers around a page and draw lines between pairs where one is divisible by the other.

The number 4 would connect to 1 and 2 but not 3, and so on. The connecting lines need not be straight.
Can you continue adding numbers and connecting them to…
