01 Why is (36^2\times7) not considered the final form in prime factorisation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Because 36 is composite
Explanation: Step 1: In final prime factorisation, the bases should be prime. Step 2: (36=2^2\times3^2), so (36^2) must be changed into (2^4\times3^4). Step 3: Do not keep a composite base like 36 in the final answer.
