Question

Prime factorization of $1000$.

Answer 1

Step : Determine the prime factorization of $1000$.

A prime number is one that only has two factors: one and the number itself.
Finding which prime numbers multiply to produce the original number is known as "prime factorization."

$\begin{array}{rcl}1000& =& 10\times 10\times 10\\ & =& 2\times 5\times 2\times 5\times 2\times 5\\ & =& 2^3\times 5^3\end{array}$

Hence, the prime factorization of $1000$ are $2$ and $5$.
