Express each number as a product of its prime factors:
(i) 140
(ii) 156
(iii) 3825
(iv) 5005
(v) 7429
To do:
Here we have to express each of the given numbers as a product of its prime factors.
Solution:
We know that,
Every positive integer greater than 1 can be written as a product of prime numbers (or the integer is itself a prime number). So,
- Composite number $=$ Product of prime numbers
(i) Prime factorization of 140 is:
$140\ =\ 2\ \times\ 2\ \times\ 5\ \times\ 7$
$\mathbf{140\ =\ 2^2\ \times\ 5^1\ \times\ 7^1}$
Hence, 140 can be expressed as $2^2\ \times\ 5^1\ \times\ 7^1$.
(ii) Prime factorization of 156 is:
$156\ =\ 2\ \times\ 2\ \times\ 3\ \times\ 13$
$\mathbf{156\ =\ 2^2\ \times\ 3^1\ \times\ 13^1}$
Hence, 156 can be expressed as $2^2\ \times\ 3^1\ \times\ 13^1$.
(iii) Prime factorization of 3825 is:
$3825\ =\ 3\ \times\ 3\ \times\ 5\ \times\ 5\ \times\ 17$
$\mathbf{3825\ =\ 3^2\ \times\ 5^2\ \times\ 17^1}$
Hence, 3825 can be expressed as $3^2\ \times\ 5^2\ \times\ 17^1$.
(iv) Prime factorization of 5005 is:
$5005\ =\ 5\ \times\ 7\ \times\ 11\ \times\ 13$
$\mathbf{5005\ =\ 5^1\ \times\ 7^1\ \times\ 11^1\ \times\ 13^1}$
Hence, 5005 can be expressed as $5^1\ \times\ 7^1\ \times\ 11^1\ \times\ 13^1$.
(v) Prime factorization of 7429 is:
$7429\ =\ 17\ \times\ 19\ \times\ 23$
$\mathbf{7429\ =\ 17^1\ \times\ 19^1\ \times\ 23^1}$
Hence, 7429 can be expressed as $17^1\ \times\ 19^1\ \times\ 23^1$.
