Question

Write the prime factorization of 12 . Use exponents when appropriate and order the factors from least to greatest (for example, $$ 2^{2} \cdot 3 \cdot 5 $$ ).

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Recognize that $$12 = 2 \times 6$$.
2. Factor the $$6$$ further as $$6 = 2 \times 3$$.
3. Combine the factors:
   
   $$
   12 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 = 2^2 \cdot 3
   $$
   
Thus, the prime factorization of 12 is $$2^2 \cdot 3$$.
The prime factorization of 12 is $$2^2 \cdot 3$$.
