Answer

2×5×132 \times 5 \times 13

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Find the missing factor in the square.

    The number 130 is factored into 13 and another number. To find this number, divide 130 by 13.

    130÷13=10130 \div 13 = 10

    So, the number in the square is 10.

  2. Find the prime factors of 10.

    The number 10 is not prime, so it needs to be factored further into its prime components.
    The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5.

    10=2×510 = 2 \times 5

    So, the numbers in the two empty circles are 2 and 5.

  3. Write the prime factor decomposition of 130.

    The prime factors are the numbers at the end of each branch: 13, 2, and 5.
    Writing them in ascending order gives the prime factor decomposition.

    130=2×5×13130 = 2 \times 5 \times 13

    The prime factor decomposition of 130 is 2×5×13\boxed{2 \times 5 \times 13}.
