Express 60 as a product of its prime factors.
We divide 60 by 2 as many times as possible to get 60 = 15 x 2 x 2. 2 is a prime number so we don't need to break the 2's down any more. Instead we break 15 down. 15 doesn't divide by 2 so we try the next prime number: 3 Divide 15 by 3 to get 15 = 5 x 3, and so 60 = 5 x 3 x 2 x 2. Now we collect the factors, so our final answer is 60 = 5 x 3 x 22.
