Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prime factorization of 301 is 7 · 43. Choice A is incorrect because 41 is not a factor of 301. Choices C and D are incorrect because they list numbers with incorrect digits. 301 can be factored into 7 and 43, both of which are prime numbers. Choice A is incorrect because 41 is a prime number, but it doesn't divide 301 evenly. Choices C and D are impossible to decipher as they contain random characters.
