Determine the prime factorization of each of the following positive integer:
20570

Given:

Given integer is 20570.

To do: 

Here we have to express the given integer as a product of its prime factors.

Solution:

We know that,

Any integer greater than one, either be a prime number or can be written as a product of prime factors. So,

• Composite number  $=$  Product of prime numbers

Prime factorization of 20570 is:

$20570\ =\ 2\ \times\ 5\ \times\ 11\ \times\ 11\ \times\ 17$

$\mathbf{20570\ =\ 2^1\ \times\ 5^1\ \times\ 11^2\ \times\ 17^1}$

Hence, 20570 can be expressed as  $2^1\ \times\ 5^1\ \times\ 11^2\ \times\ 17^1$.
