Answer 2

Question - Express 495 as a product of primes.

✔Answer✔-

A composite number can be expressed as a product of it's primes by divisibility rules

Since it ends with 5, it will surely have 5 in it's prime factorization. Since 4+9+5 = 18 and 18 is divisible by 3, it will also have 3 in it's prime factorization. The others depends upon trial and error method. (For 2, the number should end with 2,4,6,8,0)

495 = 5×3×3×11
