Question

How do you write the prime factorization of `14w`?

Answer 1

`7times2timesw`

Explanation:

find the prime factorization of 14, that is break 14 down into its primes.

So easiest thing to do first is to divide by either 2 or 3. Because 14 is divisible by 2 start there.

`14/2`=7

Because 7 is a prime number you stop there.

w can t be factored because it is a variable so it is simply

`7times 2times w`
