Math Problem Statement
Prime factorization is finding which prime numbers multiply together to make the number that was being asked about. Recall that a prime number is any number in which the it's only factor is itself multiplied by 1. For example, 41 is a prime number because the only factors are 1 and 41.
To find the prime factorization of 45, we can list out what multiplies to give 45. For example, 45 space equals space 9 space cross times space 5. However, 9 is not prime since 3 cross times 3 equals 9. So, we can further write 45 as 45 equals 3 cross times 3 cross times 5. This is now the prime factorization for 45.
To complete this problem, please write each number that will appear in the prime factorization of 120 from least to greatest.
120 = * * * *
