Question

Express 2020 as a product of its prime factors?

Answer 1

Answer:

the prime factor of 2020 is 2×2×5×101

Answer 2

PRIME FACTORS ARE 2,2,5 & 101

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime number when multiplied with a given number called as Prime Factor. Or we can say that prime factor can be found by multiplying prime numbers together and hence get the original number, wherein Factors can be called as numbers to be multiplied together to get a new number.

2020 gives the prime factors as and when divided by the smallest number to which it is divisible.

a.) On dividing by 2 it gives 1010.

b.) On dividing 1010 by 2 it gives 505.

c.) Now, 505 is not divisible by 2,3,4 but by 5 it yields 101.

d.) Finally, 101 has no other factor except 1 and itself, so on dividing by 101, it yields 1.

e.) Hence, the prime factors come out to be 2 x 2 x 5 x 101
