Express 87 as a product of prime factors

Question

Hello can you please help me out with this question? Thank you 😊

Answer 1

Let’s use a prime factorization tree.

 

            87

           /   \

          3    29

                

That is it! 3 and 29 are the prime factors of 87.....

so 3 X 29 = 87

 

Answer 2

Hi Kayla lets give this a try. Think of multiple numbers of 87.

There are:

1 x 87.

3 x 29.

29 x 3.

Hope this helps.
