No. Prime factorization is the method of expressing a number as the product of prime numbers. So, Prime factorization of 42 = 2x3x7
42 21.2 7,3,2 7,3,2 21,2 42
You find the prime factorization of 42 like this. You think what 2 number multiplied together give you 42: 6x7 7 is prime because the only factors it has is 1 and itself. 6 can be broken into 3x2. So you currently have 7x3x2. All these numbers are prime so you just found the prime factorization!
2 x 3 x 7
Find the prime factorization. It doesn't matter if you use a factor tree, or rainbow or firework. For example: 42 42 21,2 3,7,2 The prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7. The greatest prime factor is 7.
In actual fact, the prime factorization of 42 is not 21 x 2, as 21 is not a prime number. The complete prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
No, 21 is not prime.
No.
21 isn't prime. The prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
Take 30/42, for example. The prime factorization of the numerator (30) is 2 x 3 x 5. The prime factorization of the denominator (42) is 2 x 3 x 7. This will help you find the GCF or the LCM.
It is: 2*3*7 = 42
