Question

Express as a product of prime factors
125 X 216​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime factorization: 216 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3, which can be written 216 = 2³ x 3³. The exponents in the prime factorization are 3 and 3. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (3 + 1) x (3 + 1) = 4 x 4 = 16. Therefore 216 has 16 factors.
