First, you must use a factor tree to find the prime factors of the number.
12
/ \
6 (2)
/ \
(3) (2)
2 , 2 and 3 are the prime factors that make 12

Answer:
I am sorry but I do not know
Step-by-step explanation:
You do the sum(40) subtracted by 8, the answer from that divided by 2 since Erin's two times younger.
40-8=32
32÷2=16
Then if you want to check it you do the opposite and get the same sum(40) so 16×2=32 and 32+8=40
