01 Why is (18^2\times5) not considered the final form in prime factorisation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Because 18 is composite
Explanation: Step 1: In the final prime factorisation, bases must be prime. Step 2: (18=2\times3^2), so (18^2) must be changed into (2^2\times3^4). Step 3: Do not leave a composite base in the final answer.
