How do you write the prime factorization of 100?

Answer 1

Autumn Arnold

# 2 xx 2 xx 5 xx 5 # or # 2^2 xx 5^5#

100 can be factored into # 10 xx 10# or #10^2#

The exponent 2 indicated that there are two factors of 10

However 10 is not a prime number. ten can be factored into

# 2 xx 5# Since there are two factors of 10 there are two sets of

# 2 xx 5 # so # 2 xx 2 xx 5 xx 5 # or # 2^2 xx 5^5#
