Answer:
The prime factorization for 450 is 2 × 3² × 5²
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you must do is find two numbers that you can multiply together to get 450. Let's use the numbers 45 and 10 because 45 × 10 = 450
Now, let's break down 45 first.
45 = 9 × 5 = 3 × 3 × 5
Next, let's break down 10.
10 = 2 × 5
Now, we combine the numbers together through multiplication.
The prime factorization of 450 is 2 × 3² × 5² which is answer choice C.
