Start with a ready-made worksheet

Factor the numerical coefficient first, then account for every variable factor. Use repeated factors or exponents as requested.

Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.

Two ways to write the same factorization

Repeated-factor notation shows every numerical prime and every copy of a variable. Prime-power notation groups repeated factors with exponents. Both answers must multiply back to the original monomial.

Each customized student worksheet and its answer key use the same generated questions. Start with a focused set of structures, check the worked reasoning, then generate a fresh set when the learner is ready.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Decompose a monomial into numerical prime factors and variable factors.

Worked example

Write the prime factorization and prime-power factorization of 18x²y.

Repeated factors: 2 × 3 × 3 × x × x × y. Prime powers: 2 × 3² × x² × y.

Both products reconstruct 18x²y. Prime-power notation groups repeated factors without changing their value.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Check the coefficient by multiplying the numerical factors.
  • Count each occurrence of every variable.
  • Keep repeated-factor and exponent notation distinct.
  • Recompose the complete product to verify the answer.
