Math Problem Statement

Factor 93 into a product of it’s primes.

Solution

To factor 93 into a product of its prime numbers:

  1. Check for divisibility by small prime numbers.
  2. 93 is an odd number, so it's not divisible by 2.
  3. Sum of digits of 93 is 9 + 3 = 12, which is divisible by 3. So, 93 is divisible by 3.

Dividing 93 by 3 gives: 93÷3=3193 \div 3 = 31

Now, 31 is a prime number, so it cannot be factored further.

Thus, the prime factorization of 93 is: 93=3×3193 = 3 \times 31
