Edexcel IGCSE Math A syllabusMath A 4MA1First assessment 2018

Practise decomposing integers into prime factors and writing repeated primes with index notation.

How this is tested

  • divide successively by prime numbers until every remaining factor is prime
  • group repeated prime factors and write them using positive integer powers
  • multiply the prime-power product to check it reproduces the original integer

Question 18

Write 1400 as a product of powers of its prime factors.
