We have to find the prime factors of 700. In other words we have to find which prime numbers multiply together to make the original number (in this case 700). 700 : 2 = 350; 350 : 2 = 175; 175 : 5 = 35; 35 : 5 = 7; 7 : 7 = 1. Therefore: 2 * 2 * 5 * 5 * 7 = 700. Answer: The prime factors of 700 is B. 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 7.
