Question 1 • FL-1200370-Algebra 1-A Semester 2

What is the prime factorization of 180?

Answer
A
2 • 2 • 3 • 3 • 5
B
2 • 2 • 45
C
2 • 3 • 3 • 5
D
2 • 9 • 5

Explanation

Divide 180 by prime numbers: 180 = 2 × 90 = 2 × 2 × 45, and 45 = 3 × 3 × 5. So the prime factorization is 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5, which is choice A. Choices B and D still include composite factors, and C multiplies to 90 rather than 180.
