Answer 2

ANSWER

4,900 ÷ 2 = 2,450 - No remainder! 2 is one of the factors!

2,450 ÷ 2 = 1,225 - No remainder! 2 is one of the factors!

1,225 ÷ 2 = 612.5 - There is a remainder. We can't divide by 2 evenly anymore. Let's try the next prime number

1,225 ÷ 3 = 408.3333 - This has a remainder. 3 is not a factor.

1,225 ÷ 5 = 245 - No remainder! 5 is one of the factors!

245 ÷ 5 = 49 - No remainder! 5 is one of the factors!

49 ÷ 5 = 9.8 - There is a remainder. We can't divide by 5 evenly anymore. Let's try the next prime number

49 ÷ 7 = 7 - No remainder! 7 is one of the factors!

7 ÷ 7 = 1 - No remainder! 7 is one of the factors!
