Question

Write the prime factorization of 500 in index form.

Answer 1

`2^(2)` ×
`5^(3)`

Explanation:

500

= 2 x 250

= 2 x 10 x 25

= 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5

=
`2^(2)` ×
`5^(3)`

Answer 2

`Factors \:of \:500`

`\\ \longmapsto` 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, and 500.

`Prime \:Factorization \:of\: 500`

`\\ \longmapsto` 500=
`2^(2)` ×
`5^(3)`
