Our structured worksheet, starting with an example, asks students to find the prime factorization of numbers up to 3,000.

Finding the product of prime factors is carried out by using factor trees. In section A, the factor trees are drawn out for students already, and we differentiate all factors into prime or composite numbers. In this section, all numbers have four prime factors, and students are required to write their answer in exponential form.

In section B, students will draw their own factor trees to find the prime factorization of six numbers ranging in difficulty from 32 to 2,925.
