Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You basically have to divide your number from a prime factor until your result is 1

For example

12

you divide it from the lowest prime number possible, for in this case, 2

12/2 = 6 and you can set aside 2 for now

You do the same thing and you divide it by 2

6/2 = 3 and set aside 2

Now 3 isn't divisible by 2 so you'll find another number, for in this case 3

3/3 = 1

your set side numbers are now 2,2,3

so you'll find out 12 = 2x2x3 as a product of it's prime factors

how ever you cant divide it by 4 or 6 since they aren't prime factors as they are divisible by other numbers
