How do you write 300 as the product of primes?

Answer 1

To express 300 as the product of primes, you can start by dividing it by the smallest Prime number, which is 2. Dividing 300 by 2 gives you 150. Continuing to factor, divide 150 by 2 again to get 75. Next, divide 75 by 3 to get 25, and finally, divide 25 by 5 twice to get 1. Thus, the prime factorization of 300 is (2^2 \times 3^1 \times 5^2).
