Question

Write 24 as a product of its prime factors.

Answer 1

Prime factors of 24 is 2× 3×2×2

Explanation:

Given : Number 24.

To find: Write 24 as a product of its prime factors.

Solution : We have given that number 24

Prime number : numbers which are divisible by 1 or itself only

Example = 2, 3, 5, 7,....etc

So we will find the factor of 24 by prime factorization

24 is divisible by 1

24 ÷ 3 = 8

8 ÷ 2 = 4

4 ÷ 2 = 2

2 ÷ 2 = 1

Hence we can write 24 as 2× 3×2×2

Therefore, Prime factors of 24 is 2× 3×2×2

Answer 2

prime factors are prime numbers that can be multiplied to give the number.
to find the prime factors the number is divided by the prime numbers by which the number is divisible.

24 / 3 = 8
8 / 2 = 4
4 / 2 = 2
2 / 2 = 1
24 is divisible by 3 , 2 , 2 and 2.
therefore 24 written as a product of its prime factors is 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
