Answer 1

Prime factorization is when the numbers are divided until they cannot be divided anymore.

For example, the number 18.

18/2 = 9

9/3 = 3

So the prime factorization is 2,3,3

As it says use exponents: There are 2 threes. 3 x 3 is the same as 3²

3² x 2 should be your answer

hope this helps
