Common mistake

Factors, multiples and prime factorisation common mistake 1

Writing a final answer without showing the method that justifies it. This can weaken answers for: [Foundation and Higher] Write products of prime factors using index notation and apply the uniqueness of prime factorisation..

Show the method first, then give the final answer in the required form. Apply this directly to Factors, multiples and prime factorisation.
