Well, @TaigaA, what if I show you how for 48?

anonymous · Answer

okay, (My teacher asked me to try IXL.com/ and i did but i got stuck and i thought i should ask for help from you guys).

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok, np, so for 48, can you think of two factors?(two numbers you multiply together to get 48)  Any two will do

The methodology for 48 will be the same for 20 and every other prime factorization, but it is all about the process here

Sorry i'm in a ll right now might take some time to talk back..

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

uh ok, so anyways, can you answer my previous question about factors?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, multiply 10? (  I'm pretty stupid when it comes too math sorry :/  )

anonymous · Answer

XD @TaigaA it happen's to all of us. peep think I'm a blond

First, never say that.  If you do, you will become stupid at math.  NO ONE starts that way, they just have not practiced enough with a good helper :)  Next, so I want two numbers that multiply to 48?  Any two numbers
