Find the prime factorization of45

The prime factorization is 3*3*5

Step-by-step explanation:

IN order to find this, start by dividing by the lowest non-one number that goes in evenly. Since 2 does not go in, divide 45 by 3.

45/3 = 15

Now that we have 15, we can do the same. 3 is again the right number.

15/3 = 5

And since 5 is a prime number, then take all the numbers you divided by and the 5 to create the prime factorization.

3*3*5

This is an example.
