Question

The product of prime factors of 2024 is:

• A. \(11 \times 23 \times 32\)
• B. \(23 \times 11 \times 23^3\)
• C. \(7 \times 23 \times 23^2\)
• D. \(23 \times 11^2 \times 22^2\)

Hint:

To find the prime factorization, divide the number by the smallest prime number until you can no longer divide.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

First, we find the prime factorization of 2024: \[ 2024 = 2^3 \times 7 \times 23 \] So, the product of the prime factors is \(7 \times 23 \times 23^2\). Thus, the correct answer is (3).
