Prime factors are the combination of prime numbers which multiply to give the given integer exactly.
If you begin by finding the lowest prime factor of your given number, and then divide by this and find the lowest prime factor of the result (and repeat until finished), you will see that for 88 we get:
2 * 2 * 2 * 11. We write this as 2^3 * 11.
2 x 2 x 2 x 11 = 88

The prime factors of 88 are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 11
2, 7 and 11
The first step in finding an LCM is to split the numbers into their prime factors. In this case we have: 244 = 2x2x61 88 = 2x2x2x11 The next step is to cross off any duplicates for common prime factors. In this case, both numbers have two 2s as prime factors. Crossing the duplicates off leaves us with 2, 2, 2, 11 and 61. Multiply these together and we get 5,368 And thus the LCM of 244 and 88 is 5,368
The factors of 968 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88, 121, 242, 484, and 968 The prime factorization is: 968 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 11 * 11
The prime factorization of 88 is 2^3 X 11. if you list all the factors, you would have 2 X 2 X 2 X 11.
