Can anyone tell me what is the prime factorization of 15? Use exponents if possible. :) thanks

3^1 x 5^1
Prime factors are the base numbers that something can be divided into.
ie 24 = 6 x 4 = (3 x 2) x (2 x 2) = 3^1 x 2^3
you could go also as 8 x 3.
You do not want to include 1 in the factorization. The only exceptions would be any numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 and someone asked you "what is the prime factorization of" those numbers.

153 is 80% of 191.25 You find this by setting 153 = .80x Then divide 153/.80 = x LCM of 30 & 16 = 240. <-- You should know how to find the LCM. Prime Factorization for 162 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 <-- You divide 162 by the lowest numbers you can use until you hit 1.
