Best Answer

You are looking for the prime factorization of 42. Since 42 is definetely even, we conduct a test on the divisibility of 3 first. 4 + 2 = 6, and 6 mod 3 = 0. Therefore, it is divisible by 6. 6 factors to 3 and 2, and when 42/6 = 7, which is a prime. Therefore, the product is: 3 * 2 * 7.
