Question

Express 900 as a product of its prime factors in index form. Write the prime factors in ascending factors.

Answer 1

900 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5 = 2^2 * 3^2 * 5^2

Explanation:

900/2 = 450

450/2 = 225

225/3 = 75

75/3 = 25

25/5 = 5

5/5 = 1

900 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5 = 2^2 * 3^2 * 5^2
