How do you write 144 as a product of primes?

Answer 1

To write 144 as a product of primes, you can start by factoring it. First, divide by 2: (144 \div 2 = 72); (72 \div 2 = 36); (36 \div 2 = 18); (18 \div 2 = 9); and then (9 \div 3 = 3); (3 \div 3 = 1). This gives us the prime factorization of 144 as (2^4 \times 3^2).
