It cannot except in the highly restricted and totally artificial situation where all sides are of integer measure (in some units).

If you were required to find a prism with measure 30 cubic metres then you are meant to say:

"Oh, I know! The prime factorisation of 30 is 2*3*5 and so the prism is 2 m * 3 m * 5 m."


Yes, that is certainly possible, but what about

1 m * 2 m * 15 m?

or 1 m * 4 m * 7.5 m?

or (worse still) sqrt(2) m * sqrt(2) m * 15 m?


For any given volume, there are infinitely many possible triplets of measures for suitable prisms and prime factorisation is of help in only a small number of cases. A finite number out of an infinite number = precisely 0%!

Whats the formula for volume of a rectangular solid?

The formula for the volume of a rectangular solid, also known as a rectangular prism, is given by ( V = l \times w \times h ), where ( V ) represents the volume, ( l ) is the length, ( w ) is the width, and ( h ) is the height of the solid. To find the volume, simply multiply these three dimensions together.
