Question

what is the prime factorisation of 50​

Answer 1

Answer:

Prime Factorisation of 50

The number 50 is a composite number. Now let us find the prime factors of 50.

• The first step is to divide the number 50 with the smallest prime factor,i.e. 2.

50 ÷ 2 = 25

• Again, dividing 25 by 2, we get a fraction number 12.5, which is not considered as a factor.

• Now, proceed to the next prime numbers, i.e. 3, 5, 7 and so on

25 ÷ 3 = 8.33, 3 is not a factor of 50

• Divide 25 by 5.

25 ÷ 5 = 5

         So, 5 is a factor of 50.

• Now, again by dividing 5 by 5 we get,

5 ÷ 5 = 1

• We have received 1 at the end and further, we cannot proceed with the division method. So, the prime factors of 50 are 2 × 5 × 5 or 2 × 52, where 2 and 5 are the prime numbers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Factors of 50: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50.

Therefore

Prime factorization: 50 = 2 x 5 x 5

or we can write it 2 x 5²
