The median of the first prime factor is 2

• codetrotter 3y ago
  But intuitively it’s weird that the median of the second prime factor is not 3, right?

    Only multiples of 6 (1 in 6 numbers) have 3 as their second prime factor so I wouldn’t expect the median to be 3

      I guess it depends on whether you count multiples of 4 to have 2 as both their second and first prime factor?

    I'd expect the mode of the second prime factor to be 3, but not necessarily the median.

  The sequence of the medians of successive prime factors would be interesting
