how you get the answer?
46 is: 2*23 The factor pairs of 46 are 1 x 46 and 2 x 23.
you should know how to find it. it's quite easy. you take the number, divided by the primes, start at smallest 1,2,3,5,7,,11,....
2 and 23 cannot be divided again they are prime numbers
for example 46 divided by 2 is 23 and then consider whether 23 is a prime or not, if it is a prime, so the answer is 46 = 2*23 ( pay attention 2,23 both are prime. if it's not . I mean if 23 is not 23 but 24, continue divide 24 by the smallest one 2 , to get 12, 12 is not a prime, continue the process until you get the prime. ok?
search on google how to find the factor prime, quite easy to understand and don't forget , every number can be form under product of primes.
I saw you post another problem exactly what you ask here. i gave you the way how to do it, why don't you try by yourself? sorry for straightforwardly speaking , we are not here to do your homework.
