How do you write the prime factorization of #-38mnp#?

Answer 1

#-38mnp = (-2xx19xxmxxnxxp)#

Another name for prime factorization is expanded form writing.

#-38mnp = -(2xx19xxmxxnxxp)#

A single variable such as #x# can be regarded as prime, because without knowing a value which it represents, it can only be written as: #x = 1 xx x# There are only 2 factors.

Note that there are no negative prime numbers.

To write the prime factorization of -38mnp, you need to first factorize the number 38 and then consider the variables m, n, and p. Here's how you do it:

Factorize 38: 38 = 2 × 19
Now, considering the negative sign, it doesn't affect the prime factorization of the number. So, we retain the factors 2 and 19.
Incorporate the variables: -38mnp = -1 × 2 × 19 × m × n × p

Therefore, the prime factorization of -38mnp is: -1 × 2 × 19 × m × n × p.
