Prime factorization with exponents

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

105

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 105=3\times5\times7 \LARGE\color{white}{ \rm │ }}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Just a bit more, and you would get to \[\Large \sum_{n=1}^{whatever}(2n+1)~~~~~~~:)\]

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Dafuq is that?

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

I need the factorization of the 105 with exponents

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

@mathmale

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I gave you the prime factorization, it does not involve any exponents though.

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

so that's it?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

If I'm reading this question correctly, you want to write the factors of 105 in exponential notation. Just borrow Solomon's result and insert exponents.\[105=5*3*7\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

becomes\[105=3^1*5^1*7^1\]... again, this is if you and I are not overlooking anything.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@solomonzelman: Hello.\[\Large \sum_{n=1}^{whatever}(2n+1)\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

is a SUMMATION. Daniel's math problem does NOT involve a summation.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I was making a joke, .. do you seriously think I am THAT stupid? Perhaps I am stupid, but that stupid ?! :)

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Jajaja

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

did you mean to type j, or it is just really close to letter h ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Daniel: Unless you have further questions about this parituclar math problem, please move on to the next problem you need to address. Solomon, Daniel had no way to know that you were joking. At best that was a needless distraction. Better to stick to serious stuff, at least until you and the other person know one another well enough so that each of you knows when the other is joking.

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

30

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

XD

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

I think it would be 3^3 +3

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Mister moderator xD... sure. I'll warn about the joke next time (if I don;t forget).

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Am I right with the thing?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Mr. SolomonZelman: Best to stay on topic. No jokes at all until after the person asking the question is satisfied that he / she understands the problem solution and can go through it himself / herself. Daniel: all you had to do was to factor 105 and to write the factors with exponents; the only exponents that will work are the 1, the 1 and the 1 in 5^1, 3^1 and 7^1. Stop there; no further work is necessary.

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Thanks

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

And with a 30? would it be 3^3+3?

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

@mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

If you are trying to factor 30, the most factors you could identify would be four: 1, 2, 3, 5. We do not include 10 or 15 on this list, because 2*5 = 10 and 3*5 = 15. 3^3+3 does equal 30, yes, but "factors" imply multiplication (NO addition).

OpenStudy (mathmale):

So sorry, Daniel, but I need to get offline. I'll be available later today, probably. Suggest you move forward and write up some questions to ask me (or other OS helpers) later.

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Thanks

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

So what would it be?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

List the factors of 30, assuming that 1 is a trivial factor. Which other digits must you multiply together to get 30? Remember: NO addition here; ALL multiplication to get 30.
