Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves. To find the prime numbers related to 96, we look for the prime factors of 96.

Let's break down 96 into its prime factors:

• 96 is an even number, so we can divide by 2 (the smallest prime number):

  $96 \div 2 = 48$

• 48 is also even, so we divide by 2 again:

  $48 \div 2 = 24$

• Continuing:

  $24 \div 2 = 12$

  $12 \div 2 = 6$

  $6 \div 2 = 3$

• Now, 3 is a prime number.

Thus, the prime factorization of 96 is: $96 = 2^5 \times 3$ So, the prime numbers associated with 96 are 2 and 3.
