Find the prime factorization of the composite number.
795
795 =
(Type your answer using exponential notation.)

  3×5×53

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use divisibility rules to find the small prime factors.

The number ends in 5, so is divisible by 5.

  795/5 = 159

The sum of digits is 1+5+9 = 15; 1+5 = 6, a number divisible by 3, so 3 is a factor.

  159/3 = 53 . . . . . a prime number,* so we're done.

795 = 3×5×53

* If this were not prime, it would be divisible by a prime less than its square root. √53 ≈ 7.3. We know it is not divisible by 2, 3, or 5. We also know the closest multiples of 7 are 49 and 56, so it is not divisible by 7. Hence 53 is prime.
