SUMMARY

The prime factorization of 30,030 is definitively established as 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11 × 13. This conclusion is derived from the fact that 30,030 can be expressed as 30 multiplied by 1,001, where 1,001 is the product of the primes 7, 11, and 13. The number 30 itself factors into 2, 3, and 5. Therefore, the complete prime factorization includes all these prime factors.

$\tiny{apc.1.1.13}$
The number 1,001 is the product of the primes 7, 11, and 13
Knowing this,
What is the prime factorization of 30,030?

a, ${3 \cdot 7\cdot 10\cdot 13}$
b. ${30\cdot 7\cdot 11\cdot 13}$
c. ${2 \cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot 11\cdot 13}$
d. ${3\cdot 7\cdot 10\cdot 11\cdot 13}$
e. ${2\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot 11\cdot 13}$

Ok I never studied number theory so don't know theorems
but a b and d don't have all primes, by observation c won't make it
so that leaves e

I hope

Not bad. I'd say take a look at a couple of factors. It's clearly divisible by 3. It's also clearly divisible by 10 = 2 x 5, so you are left with e).

You are told that "1001 is the product of the primes 7, 11, and 13" and 30030= 30(1001).
So 30030 is 30(7*11*13) and 30= 3(10)= 2*3*5. 30030= 2*3*5*7*11*13
 
ok weird i didn't see that
