the prime factorization of 12 in exponents is 2 to the second power times 3
22 x 3 = 12
22 x 3 = 12
2.2.3 and
12 = 2 x 2 x 3
24=2*12=2*2*6=2*2*2*323*3
144 is a perfect square, whose square factor is 12: Therefore we simply repeat the prime factorization of 12 (3,2,2) twice: 2,2,2,2,3,3.
the prime facotrization of 154 is 12 times 3 times 5
12 = 22 x 31
It is: 60
12 2X6 2X2X3 22X31
