To simplify the number 912, we can factor it into its prime factors.
-
Start by dividing by the smallest prime number, which is 2: \[ 912 ÷ 2 = 456 \]
-
Divide 456 by 2: \[ 456 ÷ 2 = 228 \]
-
Divide 228 by 2: \[ 228 ÷ 2 = 114 \]
-
Divide 114 by 2: \[ 114 ÷ 2 = 57 \]
-
Now we divide 57, which is not even. The next prime number is 3: \[ 57 ÷ 3 = 19 \]
-
Finally, 19 is a prime number.
Now we can express 912 as a product of its prime factors: \[ 912 = 2^4 \times 3^1 \times 19^1 \]
Therefore, the simplified form of 912 in terms of its prime factorization is: \[ 912 = 2^4 \times 3 \times 19 \]
