Mary has 50 earring boxes. The boxes measure 1 inch on each side. How many rectangular prisms, each with a different-sized base, could Mary make by stacking all of the earring boxes?
The volume for all the boxes is 50in³ because 1 * 1 * 1 * 50 = 50. Next, let's prime factorize 50 so that (using multiplication) we can find all the different bases. 50 ÷ 2 = 25 25 ÷ 5 = 5 5 ÷ 5 = 1
