The factors of 28 are:
\n" ); document.write( "1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
\n" ); document.write( "In other words, we can write 28 as 2*14 or 7*4, etc. We want to write 28 as a product of prime factors. We can write 28 as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"28=7%2A4\"$ and 4 can be written as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4=2%2A2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So 28 can be written as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"28=7%2A2%2A2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"28=7%2A2%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since all the factors are prime we have written 28 as a product of prime factors. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
