Question

Express 429 as a product of its prime factors​

Answer 1

3×11×13

Explanation:

1. Start dividing by prime numbers. Since the number is even two won't work so next is three. If you divide 429 by 3 you get 143.
2. You continue doing this with primes going up (5, 7, 11, 13, etc.) until you get to the final prime. 5 and 7 don't work if you try dividing them by 143 individually so next up is 11. If you divide 11 by 143 you get 13 which is also a prime number.
3. Therefore, 3×11×13 is a product of prime factors.

Answer 2

The answer is 429 = 3×11×13.

Explanation:

You have to divide by prime number :

429 ÷ 3 = 143

143 ÷ 11 = 13

13 ÷ 13 = 1
