This math topic focuses on strengthening the skill of factoring composite numbers into their prime components and then simplifying the expressions. It covers simplifying multiplication by breaking down the given composite numbers into fully factored forms. The problems are structured to transform a composite multiplication expression into its simplest prime factorization format, which is essential for understanding more advanced factoring, multiplication, division, and fractions. Each question provides a different set of composite numbers for the students to work on and offers multiple choices to select the correct simplified factored form.
