The prime factorization of 42 does not use exponents: 2 x 3 x 7
112 = 121
You cannot use exponents for this problem. 7x4x2yes you can it is 7x23
The prime factorization of 33 is: 3 x 11No exponents are necessary in this case.
It is 53 = 125
121 = 112
Find the prime factorization of the number 32 use exponents when possible
First you do the prime factorization without exponents. Then you use exponents to indicate repeated factors. For example, if a number has the prime factors 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5, you write that as 23 x 32 x 5.
When I use ^ that means to raise it up as an exponent.70=2x5x7The only exponents are to the first power and we usually don't write those.
22 x 52 = 100
111 = 31 x 371
24 x 3 = 48
