The number 2 is chosen to begin a ladder diagram to find the prime factorization of 66. what other numbers could have been used to start the ladder diagram for 66? how does starting with a different number change the diagram

Respuesta :

By changing the number for your prime factorization, you also have a different diagram.

Prime factorization for 66
        
                 66
                  /\
                2*33
                     /\
                    3*11

Even if we change the prime factorization order, we still have the same numbers.

66 = 2 * 3 * 11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number 2 is chosen to begin a ladder diagram to find the prime factorization of 66.

Solution: Prime factorization of 66= 2×3×11.

Now, first consider the number 2 which is taken first to start the ladder, then the ladder diagram is as follows:

                66

                 /\

               2*33

                    /\

                   3*11

If we consider another number that is 3, the ladder diagram will change as:

                66

                 /\

               3*22

                    /\

                   2*11

Even if we change the prime factorization order, we still have the same numbers.
