Assuming that $\"q\"$ is neither $\"2\"$ nor $\"3\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"q\"$ is a different, larger prime number,
\n" ); document.write( "so the prime factorization would be
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12q=2%5E2%2A3%2Aq\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since the prime factorization \"without exponents\" is required,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12q=2%2A2%2A3%2Aq\"$ should be an acceptable answer.
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"q\"$ was 2 or 3, it would still be correct. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
