Which is the prime factorization of 84?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

84 is even so 2 will divide it; 8+4 is divisible by 3 so 84 is divisible by 3

What is 84/2 equal to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm not really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer Jim_T's question and the rest will most likely follow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, 2*42 = 2*6*7 = 2*2*3*7, B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

84/2 = 42, so 2*42 = 84 42/2 = 21, so 2*21 = 42 21/3 = 7, so 3*7 = 21

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

That all means we get this factor tree |dw:1397430547988:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Circle the primes to get |dw:1397430605398:dw| Then multiply them out: \(\Large 2*2*3*7 = 2^2*3*7\)
