What is 88 in prime factors?

Answer 1

88 Divide by two.

44,2 Divide by two.

22,2,2 Divide by two.

11,2,2,2 Stop.

2 x 2 x 2 x 11 = 88

Another way is to use a Christmas tree method.

All you do is keep breaking the numbers down into 2 different factors of that number (not necessarily using prime numbers):

........................ [please ignore the dots - they are used to ensure the diagram lines up]

..........88..........

.........../\...........

........../..\..........

........./....\.........

......../......\........

......./........\.......

.....22........4..... since 22 x 4 = 88

...../.\......../.\....

...2..11....2...2.. since 2 x 11 = 22 and 2 x 2 = 4

.........................

Then take all the numbers at the ends of the branches and those are your answers: 2, 11, 2, 2. Rearranged into ascending order: 88 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 11

Hope this second method helped!
