Write 80 as a product of prime factors.

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Begin by expressing $$80$$ as a product of two numbers. Notice that
   $$
   80 = 8 \times 10.
   $$

2. Factorize each component:
   - For $$8$$: 
     $$
     8 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 2^3.
     $$
   - For $$10$$:
     $$
     10 = 2 \times 5.
     $$

3. Substitute the prime factorizations back into the product:
   $$
   80 = 2^3 \times (2 \times 5).
   $$

4. Combine the factors of $$2$$:
   $$
   80 = 2^{3+1} \times 5 = 2^4 \times 5.
   $$

Thus, the prime factorization of $$80$$ is 
$$
2^4 \times 5.
$$
$$80$$ can be written as $$2^4 \times 5$$.
