Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we have find the factors of 144:

2[144]

first we divide 144 by 2 we get 72

2[72]

dividing 72 we get 36

3[36]

we get 12

3[12]

we get 4

2[4]

we get 2

2[2]

we finally get 1

1

So, the factors are:

2×2×2×2×3×3

So here we need to group it

(2×2)×(2×2)×(3×3)

now we get

2×2×3
