Steps to Factor the Number 80

1. Division by Smaller Prime Numbers:

Start by dividing the number 80 by the smallest prime numbers, starting with the smallest prime, which is 2.

80 ÷ 2 = 40

2. Continuação das Divisões:

Agora, continue dividindo o resultado da etapa anterior por números primos menores, até que não seja mais possível fazer divisões inteiras.

40 ÷ 2 = 20

20 ÷ 2 = 10

3. Continuação das Divisões:

Continue as divisões até não ser mais possível obter divisões inteiras.

10 ÷ 2 = 5

4. Obtenção dos Fatores Primos:

Now, the numbers by which you divided 80 and got integer results are the prime factors of 80. In this case, we have 2, 2, 2, 2 and 5.

5. Expressão da Fatoração:

Write the factorization of the number 80 using its prime factors. The full factorization of 80 is:

80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5

These steps show how the number 80 can be factored into its prime components, which is helpful in understanding its structure and mathematical properties.
