so prime factorazation is reducing a number to only prime numbers, for example 20=2*2*5 so what would that be with 27?

so first you can elimate C cus 9 isnt prime, then go through each one and see which is equal to 27 by multiplying
TETSXPREME:
seems confusing
xxDeppressionxx:
9+9=?
xxDeppressionxx:
then do that plus 9
TETSXPREME:
18

so first you would do 9+9+9=? (27) then you would look at the three and you would say 3•9=? (27)

so 3•9=27 is your prime factor
KingPizza:
3*9=27 is two numbers and is not the right answer because it should all be multiplying only one number to equal 27 so we can eliminate B, plus 9 is not prime
KingPizza:
a prime number is more than 1 and can't have a number greater than 1 or itself that can multiply to equal that number, so use that information to decide if 2 and 3 are prime numbers
crispyrat:
yes what kingpizzasaid 9 isnot prime but if you split 9 down to prime numbers and multiply that with 3 u get ur answer
KingPizza:
yeah so in this case it's all 3's, and D would be eliminated too since 2 cannot be part of the equation with the two other 3's

KingPizza:
so now we're left with A and C
KingPizza:
which one do you think it is? A or C
TETSXPREME:
c
KingPizza:
yes because in A, 3*3*3*3 would be 81 and there's an extra 3, so C would have to be the answer
shybrenawalker:
if 3x3= 9 what time 9 = 27
