write the prime factorization of 33. order the factors from least to greatest (for example, 2 × 2 × 3 × 5).
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Divide 33 by the smallest prime number
The smallest prime number is 2. But 33 is odd, so 33 is not divisible by 2.
Step2: Try the next prime number
The next prime number is 3. (33\div3 = 11)
Step3: Check if the quotient is prime
11 is a prime number.
Answer:
(3\times11)
