Question

A number is written with the following factorization: 2(to the third power) x 4 x 5. Is this factorization a prime factorization? Explain why or why not.

( No answer choice )

Answer 1

I really need help, anyone there?

Answer 2

Prime Factorization is finding which prime numbers multiply together to make the original number.

2³ ∙ 4 ∙ 5 isn't a prime factorization because 4 = 2 ∙ 2 = 2²

In this case prime factorization is:

2³ ∙ 4 ∙ 5 = 2³ ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 5 = 2³ ∙ 2² ∙ 5 = 2³ ⁺ ² ∙ 5 = 2⁵ ∙ 5
