A. 2 x 2 x 3 x 8
B. 2 x 2 x 2 x 12
C. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
D. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Respuesta :

It is not A. because 8 is not a prime number.

It is not B. because 12 is not a prime number.

C. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 4*4*6= 96

D. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3= 4*4*6*3=16*18= 288

Answer is C. -2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 : 96 ( not D. = 298 , 298 is greater than 96)

The answer is C. If you divide 96 by 2 and 3, they will both give you a whole number which indicates 2 and 3 are both factors of 96. You can easily do this by process of elimination.
