$7times2timesw$

find the prime factorization of 14, that is break 14 down into its primes.

So easiest thing to do first is to divide by either 2 or 3. Because 14 is divisible by 2 start there.

$14/2$ =7

Because 7 is a prime number you stop there.

w can t be factored because it is a variable so it is simply

$7times 2times w$
