For this case, we decompose 240 into prime factors:
So, we have:
240 divided by 2
120 divided by 2
60 divided by 2
30 divided by 2
15 divided by 3
5 divided by 5
one
So, we have to, according to the right side of the decomposition shown:
[tex]240 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 2 ^ 4 * 3 * 5[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]240 = 2 ^ 4 * 3 * 5[/tex]
