Question

Write 600 as a product of it's primse factors

Answer 1

Answer:

2*2*2*3*5*5

or

2^3 *3* 5^2

Step-by-step explanation:

600  = 60*10

These are not prime so keep going, breaking 60 and 10 down

        = 6*10  * 5*2

6 and 10 are not prime so keep going ( 5 and 2 are prime)

    = 3*2  * 5*2  * 5*2

All of the numbers are prime, so we normally write them in order from smallest to largest

2*2*2*3*5*5

We can write with exponents

2^3 *3* 5^2
