Calculate the percentage increase,work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. 

520-500 = 20
20÷500 =.04
.04 ×100= 4%

Find the Prime Factorization of -165
Ghella [55]

Answer:

(-1)(11)(3)(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

First off:  -165 separates into the factors (-1) and (165).  Next, we divide 165 by 15, obtaining 15(11).

So far, we have (-1)(11)(15).

15 is still factorable.  We get:

(-1)(11)(3)(5), which is the desired prime factorization of -165.
