Write the sum of exponents of prime factors in the prime factorisation

1.	Write the sum of exponents of prime factors in the prime factorisation of 250.
Answer» Prime factors are those prime numbers which constitute to the formation of a number by multiplication of smaller prime numbers.Now, let us first take the prime factors of the number 250, we getNow the prime factor grouped together can be written as\xa0Hence, the exponents for 2 and 5 are 1 and 3 respectively; therefore the sum of the exponent isHence, the sum of exponents of prime factors in the prime factorization of 250 = 4.
