Question

I don’t know to how to put this in the format they want it

My prime factor was
240

So I got: 2x2x2x2x3x5
(2x120)
OR
(12x20)

Answer 1

For this case, we decompose 240 into prime factors:

So, we have:

240 divided by 2

120 divided by 2

60 divided by 2

30 divided by 2

15 divided by 3

5 divided by 5

one

So, we have to, according to the right side of the decomposition shown:

`240 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 2 ^ 4 * 3 * 5`

Answer:

`240 = 2 ^ 4 * 3 * 5`
