Answer 1

Answer:

In mathematics, factorization (also factorisation in some forms of British English) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind.Prime factorization of 891 = 1×3×3×3×3×11= 1×34×11

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We write number 891 above a 2-column table  

2. We divide 891 by the smallest possible prime factor  

3. We write down on the left side of the table the prime factor and next number to factorize on the ride side

4. We continue to factor in this fashion (we deal with odd numbers by trying small prime factors)

5. We continue until we reach 1
