Math Problem Statement
Factor 93 into a product of it’s primes.
Solution
To factor 93 into a product of its prime numbers:
- Check for divisibility by small prime numbers.
- 93 is an odd number, so it's not divisible by 2.
- 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:
Now, 31 is a prime number, so it cannot be factored further.
Thus, the prime factorization of 93 is:
