61 is the first prime number greater than 60.
Divide by 2 until you hit 17. 2 x 2 x 17 = 68
68 is not prime. 68 = 2 * 2 * 17
Prime factorization is the process of finding which prime numbers you need to multiply together to get your original number (in this case, 68).2 is the smallest prime number, so if you are trying to find the prime factorization of an even number (which we are), you should start by dividing the number by 2.so...68 ÷ 2 = 34so 2 is going to be the first prime number in our answer.34 is also an even number, so we can divide it again by 2.34 ÷ 2 = 17since we were able to divide by 2 a second time, 2 is also going to be the second number of our answer.Also, 17 is a prime number, so we can't break the number down any farther. That means 17 will be the third and final number in our answer.So according to the work we just did...2 x 2 x 17 = 68or to put it in simpler form..22 × 17 = 68
No, it is not a prime number.
68 is composite and 79 is prime
68 is a Composite Number.
17 is a prime number but 68 is Composite.
The smallest number that can multiply 68 to get a square number is 17. This is because 68 can be expressed as 2^2 * 17, which means it already contains a factor that makes it a square number when multiplied by 17. Therefore, 17 is the smallest number that can achieve this result.
68 is a composite number because it has more than two factors and it is not a prime or a square number
71 is prime.
The sum of the prime numbers 2, 5, and 61 is 68.
