Question

Which of the below is NOT in a factored form? *

A) 10 x 10 x 10
B) 1/100
C) 10 x 10
D) 1/10 x10

Answer 1

Out of the given options, B) 1/100 is NOT in factored form because it does not show the number as a product of its factors, unlike the other options which all show multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to identify which option is NOT in a factored form. A factored form means that a number or expression is written as a product of its factors.

• A) 10 x 10 x 10 is in factored form as it is the product of 10 written three times.
• B) 1/100 is NOT in factored form, as it has been simplified and is no longer written as a product of factors.
• C) 10 x 10 is in factored form as it is the product of 10 written twice.
• D) 1/10 x 10 is in factored form because we can see the multiplicative relationship between 1/10 and 10.

Therefore, the selection that is NOT in a factored form is B) 1/100.
