Write 34 as a product of its prime factors. PLEASE HELP I NEED TO TURN IT IN IN % MINUTES

Down below

Step-by-step explanation: First of all, as 34 is an even number, so it must be divisible by smallest prime 2.

Thus, 2 must be a factor of 34.

Now, look for number obtained on dividing 34 by 2 i.e.

34÷2=17.  

So, 17 is our new number.

Now, look for factors/divisors of 17, which are precisely 1 and 17 i.e. 17 is itself a prime.

This implies only factors possible for 34 are 2 and 17.

Thus ,34 can be written as product of prime numbers 2 and 17 as  34=2×17.  

Key idea. Given any number, divide it by smallest divisible prime and look for the number obtained on division.

Now, repeat the process for the number obtained.

If no division by a smaller prime than that number is possible, then our number is itself a prime.

x = 12

y = 15
