Chapter 9, Problem 23SGR

To determine

To calculate: To find the prime factorization of number

Answer to Problem 23SGR

Prime factorization of $40$ is $2^3\times 5$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Number is $40$

Formula Used:

Prime factorization is a method of finding the prime numbers of a number

Calculation:

Number is given as

  $40$

Now, prime factorization of number is

  $\begin{array}{l}40=2\times 2\times 2\times 5\\ 40=2^3\times 5\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, prime factorization of $40$ is $2^3\times 5$
