The prime factorization is 46 = 2 times 3 times 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the number 42.

First, break 42 up into 2 and 21.

Then split those two numbers further into 3 and 7 from 21 (because they are the factors of 21).

Since you can't break it down any further, take the prime numbers from there and multiply them against each other. This is why it is called prime factorization.

Don't simplify any further and don't multiply them together. Just keep it as 46 = 2 times 3 times 7. There you go!
