Question

Which number is missing from the following prime factorization expression? 792 = __ x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 A. 2 B. 3 C. 5 D. 7

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 (better written as 2·2·2·3·11, because "x" is a variable name, not a math operator).

2·2·2·3·11 = 8·33 = 264

Then divide 792 by this 264 to find the final factor:

final factor = 792/264 = 3

Then the prime factorization of 792 is 2·2·2·3·3·11

which we obtained by multiplying 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 by 3.
