Question

Identify which mathematical sentences
show prime factorisation.
A. 48 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 4
B. 350 = 2 x 25 x 7​

Answer 1

${ \boxed{ \huge{ \tt{ \color{Green}{ANSWER}}}}}$

A) 48 = 2×2×3×4

This shows prime factorisation.

● In 350 = 2×25×7, 25 is not a prime number and can further be factorised into 5×5.

● Since 5 is a prime number, the complete prime factorisation of 350 would be 350 = 2×5×5×7
