Answer:
2x2x2x17
or in index form
[tex]{2^3}*17[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is an image of a tree that shows what 136 can get divided into. What we need to look at are the numbers at the bottom or the "roots" 2, 2, 2 and 17.
These are all prime as they can't get divided into anything other than themselves and 1. And because the tree shows the multiplication of its factors these numbers multiplied together makes 136, making the answer:
2x2x2x17
or in index form
[tex]{2^3}*17[/tex]
Hope I helped :)
