OBJECTIVE: #To recognize that a number may have several different factorizations but, except for order, each number greater than 1 has exactly one factorization into a product of primes (THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OR ARITHMETIC) #To use several different strategies for finding the prime factorization of a number #To recognize primes as the building blocks of whole numbers. ACTIVITIES: Investigation 5, Factorizations(Pp46ff)Problem 5.1 NOTES: [list on board 2-factor, 3-factor, etc.] HOMEWORK: ACE52+ 16, 17 and 19 Be sure to make an answer statement.

Your task is to find strings of factors with a product of 840. There will be strings of 2 factors, strings of 3 factors, etc. What will be the longest string of factors?
