Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2800: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 * 7
75: 3 * 5 * 5
168: 2 * 2* 2 * 3 * 7
It's not really multiplication. It's more division.
Try 2800 as a sample. What you are trying to do is break this down into primes. The first prime is 2
2800/2 = 1400
1400 / 2 = 700
700 / 2 = 350
350 / 2 = 175. That's the end of what the 2s can do.
175 / 5 = 35
35/ 5 = 7 7 is a prime. You are done. Now run up the ladder.
2800: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 * 7
75 is not an even number. It has no 2s. Go to 3
75 / 3 = 25.
25 / 5 = 5
That's the end
75: 3 * 5 * 5
Your calculator can be of great help. The rule is keep factoring until you get a decimal remainder. Move on to the next prime. Stop when the last division gives you a prime.
(4/5)*what = (2/3)
Multiply by 5/4
.. what = (2/3)*(5/4)
.. what = 5/6
<h2>X=18</h2>
