Question

write the prime factorization of 2. use exponents when appropriate and order the factors from least to greatest (for example, $2^2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5$).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify prime number

2 is a prime number, so its only prime factor is itself.

Step2: Write prime factorization

Since 2 = 2^1 (exponent 1 when not written, but for prime factorization, we can write it as 2 with exponent 1 or just 2 as the factor).

Answer:

\(2\)
