Prime Factorizations

Let's do another one...  and I'm going to just do this guy in one chunk.

Find the prime factorization of 100:


100 splits into 10 and 10 ... 10 splits into 2 and 5 (for both) ... 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 ... 100 = 2^2 x 5^2

 

YOUR TURN:

Use factor trees to find the prime factorizations of
