Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- To find the prime factors of a number, we must divide the number by prime numbers like 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. starting from the lowest number.

                         100     2

                           50     2

                           25     5

                             5      5

                              1

Then  100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 or 2² 5²
