Solved by pluggable solver: Find factors of any number
80 is NOT a prime number: 80 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5

Work Shown

document.write( "80 is divisible by 2: 80 = 40 * 2.\n" );
document.write( "40 is divisible by 2: 40 = 20 * 2.\n" );
document.write( "20 is divisible by 2: 20 = 10 * 2.\n" );
document.write( "10 is divisible by 2: 10 = 5 * 2.\n" );

You can see from the work shown, that obviously 5 is a prime factor, and so is 2 because 2 is not divisible by anything but itself and 1.\r

So, to find factors, you can use the solver (or factor it using logic), and look for the numbers that are not divisible by anything other than itself and 1. Try it for the other numbers. \n" ); document.write( "
