write the prime factorization of 6. order the factors from least to greatest (for example, 2 × 2 × 3 × 5).
write the prime factorization of 6. order the factors from least to greatest (for example, 2 × 2 × 3 × 5).
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Divide 6 by the smallest prime number
Since (6\div2 = 3), and 2 is a prime number.
Step2: Check if the quotient is a prime number
The quotient 3 is a prime number.
