To determine the factors of the number 6, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Begin by checking each number starting from 1 up to 6 to see if it divides 6 evenly.
Step 2: Check 1. Since 1×6=6, 1 is a factor.
Step 3: Check 2. Since 2×3=6, 2 is a factor.
Step 4: Check 3. Since 3×2=6, 3 is a factor.
Step 5: Check 4. Since 6 is not evenly divisible by 4, 4 is not a factor.
Step 6: Check 5. Since 6 is not evenly divisible by 5, 5 is not a factor.
Step 7: Finally, check 6. Since 6×1=6, 6 is a factor.
All possible whole number products (pairs) that result in 6 are 1×6, 2×3, 3×2, and 6×1.
However, when checking for unique prime factors as a particular approach in factors identification, 6 breaks down into prime factors of 2 and 3.
Therefore, the primary distinct prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3.
This correlates with choice 3:
Choice 3: 2,3, which matches our factors.
Thus, the answer is correctly represented as the distinct prime factors 2,3 in the context of the problem requirements.
