There are not any answers for the pre-algebra with pizzazz answers for page 163 via the internet. Teachers are available to help students who are struggling with the answers.
It's a way to display the prime factors of a number, like factor trees and factor rainbows. It really doesn't matter where you write the factors on the page. What matters is keeping track of them. Pick a method that makes sense to you.
