What is the prime factorization of 48?

Answer 1

#48 = 2xx2xx2xx2xx3#

Write 48 as the product if any two factors:

#48 = color(red)(8)xxcolor(blue)(6)" write each number as factors"# #48 = color(red)(2xx4)xxcolor(blue)(2xx3)# #48 = color(red)(2xx2xx2)xxcolor(blue)(2xx3)" continue until they are all prime"#

It does not matter what factors you start with.

#48 =color(red)( 4)color(blue)(xx12)# #48= color(red)(2xx2)color(blue)(xx2xx6)# #48 = color(red)(2xx2)color(blue)(xx2xx2xx3)#
