2. Write the numbers as products of prime numbers in exponential form. c. 1568
Answers
Answer:
The prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 7
or also written as { 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 7, 7 }
Written in exponential form: 25 x 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Here are the first several prime factors: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29...
Let's start by dividing 1,568 by 2
1,568 ÷ 2 = 784 - No remainder! 2 is one of the factors!
784 ÷ 2 = 392 - No remainder! 2 is one of the factors!
392 ÷ 2 = 196 - No remainder! 2 is one of the factors!
196 ÷ 2 = 98 - No remainder! 2 is one of the factors!
98 ÷ 2 = 49 - No remainder! 2 is one of the factors!
49 ÷ 2 = 24.5 - There is a remainder. We can't divide by 2 evenly anymore. Let's try the next prime number
49 ÷ 3 = 16.3333 - This has a remainder. 3 is not a factor.
49 ÷ 5 = 9.8 - This has a remainder. 5 is not a factor.
49 ÷ 7 = 7 - No remainder! 7 is one of the factors!
7 ÷ 7 = 1 - No remainder! 7 is one of the factors!
