Answer:
A prime number is a counting number that only has two factors, itself and one. .When a composite number is written as a product of all of its prime factors, we have the prime factorization of the number. For example, the number 72 can be written as a product of primes as: 72 = 2^3• 3^2.
The highest common factor of two numbers is the largest whole number which is a factor of both. This can sometimes also be called theGreatest Common Factor (GCF). Factors are whole numbers we can multiply together to get another number, for example, 4 and 5 arefactors of 20 because 4 x 5 = 20.
