01 Why is the answer considered incomplete if a composite base remains in final prime factorisation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Because only prime bases should remain in the final form
Explanation: Step 1: The aim of prime factorisation is to write the number using prime bases only. Step 2: If a base like (45) or (121) remains, it is composite and must be broken further. Step 3: Before writing the final answer, check whether every base is prime.
