1. The problem asks to find the missing prime factor in the factorization of 800 given as $$800 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times \ldots$$
2. First, calculate the product of the known factors: $$2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 2^5 = 32$$
3. Multiply this by 5: $$32 \times 5 = 160$$
4. Since the product of the known factors is 160, the missing factor must satisfy: $$160 \times \text{missing factor} = 800$$
5. Solve for the missing factor: $$\text{missing factor} = \frac{800}{160} = 5$$
6. Therefore, the missing prime factor is 5.
Final answer: $$5$$
