Question

True or False: No matter which factors you start with, you will always end up with the same numbers in the end using prime factorization?

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

In Prime factorization, we are expected to obtain factors that are prime numbers that can multiply themselves to give the original number. So long as the first factor can divide the number without a remainder, other remaining factors can be multiplied together to give the original number.

Prime factorization of the number, 15 goes thus;

15/3=5

5/5=1

3*5=15

So, all the factors multiply to give the original number.
