A monkey collects 60 coconuts and wants to store them in stacks that each contain the same number of coconuts. Describe all the different stacks the monkey can make, including the number of coconuts in each stack. Then find the prime factorization of 60.

Respuesta :

Monkeys stacking their coconuts.. sounds like a story.

Anyways 

You have to factor out the 60 
60: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 60

storing in stacks 
The stacks can be either
2 stacks 
3 stacks 
4 stacks 
5 stacks 
6 stacks 


2 stacks of 30 coconuts
4 stacks of 15 coconuts
6 stacks of 10 coconuts
12 stacks of 5 coconuts
20 stacks of 3 coconuts
(If there's other ones I forgot..Hopes this helps
