Clara is trying to determine if
25x32x73 is divisible by 5. She
says: "I'm not sure. I would need to multiply it out and then
divide the product by 5 to know for sure." How does the Fundamental
Theorem of Arithmetic provide a convincing argument for why Clara
does not need to make any computations in order to determine if the
number is divisible by 5?
