What is the prime Factorisation 1152?

Answer 1

Hi,Demi.

You just need to factor this number down to its prime numbers.

1152 = 128 x 9

Now, you can factor each of these factors:

9 = 3 x 3 (which are both prime)

128 = 4 x 32

So you need to factor these each further

4 = 2 x 2 (which are both prime)

32 = 8 x 4 and can both be factored further:

4 = 2 x 2 (which are prime)

8 = 4 x 2 = 2 x 2 x 2 ( all prime)

So, the final factorization is:

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 or

2⁷ x 3²
