56/2 = 28

28/2 = 14

14/2 = 7

Therefore 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 = 56

Your answer is
2^(3) * 7

Hope This Helps You

Good Luck

Have A Great Day ^-^

Answer: 7 x 2 x 2 x 2

Explanation:

So 7x8 = 56; 7 is prime, but 8 can be factored further; 8 = 4x2, but the 4 can be factored; 2x2

So now you have the prime factorization of 56= 7 x 2 x 2 x 2
