5 is the smallest prime factor of 175.
composite
All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is known as a prime factorization.
3*5*11
Yes. Any composite number can be expressed as a product of prime factors.
If a number cannot be factored it is a prime number.
No. It can be factored as 13*47.
When a number can only be factored by 1 and itself or cannot be factored at all it is considered prime.
5 is the smallest prime factor of 175.
composite
Yes.
take the number 175 for instance. two factors of 175 are 25 and 7 right? This is a factoring tree- the best I can do in these circumstances: 175 / \ 25 7 / \ 5 5 keep breaking numbers down into two "factors" (factors meaning two numbers you multiply together to get the number above them in the tree) When you get to a prime number (prime number meaning a number that can only be multiplied by one to get itself- i.e. for 7 you can only multiply 7X1 to equal 7. No two other numbers multiplied equal 7) When you have factored all numbers and are only left with prime numbers you have your answer. 175 factored is 5X5X7 5 times 5 equals 25, 25 times 7 equals 175 right? The proper form for the answer at this point is actually 52.7. Hope this helps.

Yes. Any composite number can be expressed as a product of prime factors.
Because any number with any proper factors is by definition not prime.
