Given parameters:

 Number 60;

Problem;

Express as a product of its prime factors

Solution

Every number known can be expressed as a product of its prime factors. Prime factorization involves finding the prime numbers that when multiplied will give the true number.

Prime numbers are numbers that are products of 1 and itself only.

   For the number 60;

                      60  =   2 x 30

                             = 2 x 2 x 15

                             = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

In index form;   2² x 3 x 5
