Question

Umm please help me!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer is 9 is not a prime number
And the correct prime factorization of 171 is
3 x 3 x 19
or 3^2 x 19

Step by step

A prime factor is a natural number, other than 1, whose only factors are 1 and itself. So since 9 is 3 x 3, 9 cannot be a prime factor.

Breakdown 171 is 3 x 57
57 can be factored out
57 is 3 x 19

So you have 3 x 3 x 19

Answer 2

9 is not a prime number. The correct prime factorization of 171 is 19x3x3.

Explanation:

171/19=9

9 is divisible by 3, so 9/3=3. 19x3x3=171
