Now a number is written with the following factorization: 2^2 × 3 × 5^4 × 8 × 11^2. is this factorization a prime factorization? explain why or why not. if it is not correct, give the correct prime factorization of the number.

That is NOT written in prime factorization because the numbers are not all prime, to put it simply. Here's how you should simplify it to write it correctly:



Notice that  is not is factored form, so factor it out



Substitute in the factored form



Hope this helps!
