Prime number factoring:

45 = (3²) (5)

45 = 3 × 15

= 9 × 5

So, ignoring the trivial matter where 1 is a factor, there are two ways to factor 45.

Can you imagine how the number 45 can be divided:

1. 45 is divisible by 5> 45/5 = 9>, so 5 * 9 = 45

Divisible by 2.45 3> 45/3 = 15>, so 3 * 15 = 45

3.45 is divisible by 1> 45/1 = 45> then 1 * 45 = 45

*** This is proof)

Or you can factor in primes.

1x45

2x22.5

3x15

4x11.25

5x9

Etc ...
