In Prime factorization, we are expected to obtain factors that are prime numbers that can multiply themselves to give the original number. So long as the first factor can divide the number without a remainder, other remaining factors can be multiplied together to give the original number.
Prime factorization of the number, 15 goes thus;
15/3=5
5/5=1
3*5=15
So, all the factors multiply to give the original number.
The independent variable is the variable that is being changed. In this statement, it would be water flowing flowing in the pool. The dependent variable is what is being changed so that would be the depth of the water.
