No prime power exists since there are no duplicate prime numbers in the prime factorization.
The gcf is the greatest common factor. A way of finding the gcf of three numbers is to find the gcf of the first two and then finding the gcf of that number and the third number. Because of the unique prime factorization theorem, the greatest common factor will be a product of some of the prime factors in either number. The prime factorization of 40 is 2^3 * 5 and the prime factorization of 60 is 2^2 * 3 * 5, so the gcf is going to be what is in both, or, in this case, 2^2 * 5. Th prime factorization of 80 is 2^4 * 5 and so gcf of all three numbers is 2^2 * 5, or 20.
Since the numerator of the fraction is prime, and not a factor of the denominator, the proper fraction 17/20 is already expressed in its simplest form.
Their product.
2, 3 and 7
As a product of its prime factors: 2*2*2*5 = 40 or as 23*5 = 40

Prime factorization is the expression of a given number as the product of its prime factors. Example: 210 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210

You have to go whats th smallest prime number to go into 4 which is 2 and you get 2 so the fatorization is 2x2
No number has that prime factorization since 4 isn't prime.
the smallest prime number is 2
2x3x5
