Divide by 2 until you get to 7.
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 = 112
The prime factorization for 112 using exponents is: 24 x 7
24 x 7 = 112
112 = 121
112 = 121
72 * 112
The prime factorization for 112 using exponents is: 24 x 7
Since '112' is an even number, you divide by '2' , the smallest prime number. 2)112 2)56 2)28 2)14 7)7 = 1 NB Reduce by using prime number denominators until you reach '1'. Hence 112 = 2x2x2x2x7 = 2^(4) X 7^(1)
the prime factorization of 968 is 2 3X 112
121 = 112
24 x 7 = 112
112 = 121
503 is already prime; no factorization.
