please answer this one question because im clueless lol!!!

A number is written with the following factorization:2exponet is 3 multiplied 4 multplied 5.

is this factorization a prime factorization?please explain to me or why not?if its not correct,please give me the correct prime factorization of the number

If you mean 2^3 * 4 * 5

no, that is not a prime factorization, since 4 is not a prime.

Factor 4 and fold its prime factors into the total.

To determine if the given factorization is a prime factorization, we need to understand what a prime factorization is.

A prime factorization is the representation of a number as a product of its prime factors, where prime factors are the prime numbers that divide the given number exactly.

In the given factorization: 2^3 * 4 * 5, we can see that 2^3 represents 8 (2 multiplied by itself 3 times), 4 represents 2 * 2, and 5 is already a prime number.

However, the number 4 is not a prime number because it can be further factorized as 2 * 2. In a prime factorization, we only use prime numbers as factors.

So, the factorization 2^3 * 4 * 5 is not a prime factorization because it includes the composite number 4.

To find the correct prime factorization of the given number, we need to break down each number into its prime factors.

The prime factorization of 8 (2^3) is 2 * 2 * 2.

The prime factorization of 4 is 2 * 2.

The prime factorization of 5 is 5.

Putting it all together, the correct prime factorization of the number would be: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5.
