Factors are the building blocks of multiplication. They are the numbers that you can multiply together to produce another number: 2 and 10 are factors of 20, as are 4 and 5 and 1 and 20. To factor a number is to rewrite it as a product. 20 = 4 • 5.
Likewise to factor a polynomial, you rewrite it as a product. Just as any integer can be written as the product of factors, so too can any monomial or polynomial be expressed as a product of factors. Factoring is very helpful in simplifying and solving equations using polynomials.
A prime factor is similar to a prime number—it has only itself and 1 as factors. The process of breaking a number down into its prime factors is called prime factorization.

Three to the power of negative four is 81
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
180-123=57
5 1/3+1 1/3
= 15/3+1/3 3/3+1/3
=20/3
= 18/3+2/3
=6 2/3
OR
when both fractions are the same, you can just add them this way:
5 1/3 + 1/3
= 5+1 + 1/3+1/3
=6+2/3
= 6 2/3
