How do you write the prime factorization of 28?

Answer 1

Autumn Arnold

prime factorization of 28 is #=2^2*7#

the prime factors of 28 are 1, 2, 2, 7 and we don't need to include the 1 anymore. So we write it #2^2*7#

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.

To write the prime factorization of 28, you first need to find its prime factors. Prime factorization involves breaking down a number into its prime factors, which are the prime numbers that multiply together to give the original number.

To find the prime factorization of 28, you start by dividing it by the smallest prime number, which is 2. 28 divided by 2 equals 14. 14 is not a prime number, so you continue dividing it by the smallest prime number, 2. 14 divided by 2 equals 7.

Now, since 7 is a prime number, you stop dividing. The prime factorization of 28 is therefore 2 × 2 × 7, or written in exponent form, 2^2 × 7.
