Question

Solve the sum by Ladder method:
99

Answer 1

Answer:

The ladder method is a way to find the factors of a number by breaking it down into smaller factors and working your way up. To solve 99 using the ladder method, we can start by finding its smallest factors:

1) First, we find the smallest prime factor of 99, which is 3. We write 3 next to 99 and divide 99 by 3 to get 33.

2) Next, we find the smallest prime factor of 33, which is also 3. We write 3 next to 33 and divide 33 by 3 to get 11.

3)We find the next prime factor of 11, which is 11.

So 99 = 3 x 3 x 11

This is the prime factorization of 99.
