Question

Express $288$ as product of powers of their prime factors.

Answer 1

Let's learn what are prime factors: A factor that is a prime number is a prime factor. Prime factors are the prime numbers that can be multiplied to give the original number, for example, Thr prime factors of $15$ are $3$ and $5$(because $3\times 5=15$, and $3$ and $5$are prime numbers,i.e., those which have only two factors: $1$ and themselves).

So, now we will find the factors as the prime numbers of $288$ .

Now,$288=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3=2^5\times 3^2$($2$ and $3$ are the prime factors of the number)

Hence, the product of powers of the prime factors of $288$ can be expressed as $2^5\times 3^2$.
