Question

Write 42 as a product of prime factors

Answer 1

2 * 3 * 7 = 42

2,3,7 = prime numbers that are factors of 42

Answer 2

We can create a prime factorization tree using the multiples of 42:

42

21 2

7 3

We multiply the numbers that aren't divisble by anything.

7 * 3 * 2 = 42

Best of Luck!
