OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
okay, then 26*2 does not equal 54
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0 27?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol sorry im very bad at math
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
yes, much better.
can you divide 27 by 2 again, without getting a fraction or a remainder?

how many times in all can you divide 27 by 3 until you end up with 1?
27/3 = 9
9/3 = 3
3/3 = 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
could you just tell me the answer lol
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
what good would my telling you the answer do you? do you think that you just need to answer this one question, and then you'll never have to do this again?!? I have bad news for you, if so...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
eh ill find someone else to help me

The way prime factorization works is by dividing the number as many times as you can to be left with prime numbers. Prime numbers are numbers that only can be divided by 1 and themselves.
