Question

Ryan wrote the prime factorization shown below. If he continues this pattern, what prime factorization will he show for the number one million? What prime factorization will he show for one billion?

10= 5•2
100= 5 to the 2nd power • 2 to the second power
1000= 5 to the 3rd power • 2 to the third power

Answer 1

23

Explanation:

1 milllion is a thousand

That's 10^6

10=2*5

1 million= 2⁶ times 5⁶ or 2*2*2*2*2*2*5*5*5*5*5*5

billion is 1000 times that so

That's 10⁹ so prime factors are 2⁹ times 5⁹ or

2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5

Answer 2

Ryan's answer is 23, your welcome
