Prime factorization is a way of writing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. The prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3. 2 x 3 is the prime factorization of 6.
The prime factorization for 53 is: 1 x 53 .Exponents would only get in the way.
You use a factor tree, for the 2 denominators. Yes that is correct the answer on the top but it says 2 denominators. This is the real correct way To do Prime Factorization in fractions first prime factorization the numerator and then the denominator. then put the prime factorization of the numerator on top and put the prime factorization of the denominator on the bottom like fractions.
Study them.
A factor rainbow, like factor trees, ladders, fireworks, lattices and cakes is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. The process remains the same. If you would like to found a new method, just figure out a different way to write the numbers on the page.
A prime factorization is the unique way to list any integer greater than 1 as a product of prime numbers. An example of the prime factorization of a composite number is 20=2*2*5 or 20=2^2*5. The prime factorization of a prime number is itself. e.g. 11=11.
the answer is prime factorization dummies
I define prime factorization as "expressing a given number as the product of its prime factors." I don't know how to make it easier than that.
Exponents are just a way of notating repeated factors. The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 The prime factorization of 72 is 2^3 x 3^2
2 times 39 is the only possible way
A factor tree is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization. If completed successfully, the bottom row (branch) will display the prime factorization of the number you started with.
Notice whether the number is odd or even. If it's even, the first prime factor is 2.
