Algebra.Com's Answer #77003 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Prime Factorization is finding the prime numbers you need to multiply together to get your number. \n" ); document.write( "Prime numbers are numbers that are divisible only by one and themselves. \n" ); document.write( "Let start. \n" ); document.write( "Look at the factors of 16. \n" ); document.write( "2x8=16 \n" ); document.write( "Then break down those factors until you only have primes left. \n" ); document.write( "8 can be further factored to 8=2x4 and 4=2x2. \n" ); document.write( "Since 2 is a prime number, you can't factor any more. \n" ); document.write( "Put all of those factors together to get \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now for 35. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now for 50. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now for 144. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now for 136. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now for 90. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now for 320. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
