Answer:

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Explanation:

Prime factors are factors that can only factor down to itself and 1.

For example, prime factors can include, but are not limited too:

1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.

In this case, you are trying to factor 32.

First, divide 2 (a prime factor) from 32:

32/2 = 16

Next, divide another 2 from 16:

16/2 = 8

Then, you can divide another 2:

8/2 = 4

And finally, another 2:

4/2 = 2

In this case, your prime factorization of 32 is:

32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, or
2^(5)
