To find the prime factors of 28, we need to break down the number into its prime components.

  1. Divide 28 by the smallest prime number, which is 2.

  2. Divide the result, 14, by the smallest prime number again.

    14÷2=714 \div 2 = 7
  3. The number 7 is a prime number, so we stop here.

    The prime factors are the prime numbers used in the division.
    The prime factors of 28 are 2 and 7.

    Comparing this with the given options:
