Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The number 100.
Calculation:
Consider the provided number 100.
Recall that factors of a number are those numbers which when multiplied together result in that number.
A number is said to be a prime number if the factors of the number are 1 and the number itself.
100 is written as product of 4 and 25 that is
Since, 4 is not prime number factorize 4 further,
Now, again 25 is not a prime number, so factorize it again,
No further factorization is possible since 2 and 5 are prime numbers.
Thus, the number 100 is not a prime number. The prime factorization is
