Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
In the prime factorization of 36 = 2² x 3², the two is used as a factor two times and the three is used as a factor twice. When checking to see if a number is prime or not, you need only divide by those prime numbers that when squared remain less than the given number.
Answer:
2^2 * 3^2
Step-by-step explanation:
36 = 6*6
But 6 is not a prime number so we need to break it down more
6 = 3*2
36 = 3*2 * 3*2
= 2*2*3*3
Writing in terms of exponents
= 2^2 * 3^2
