Question

What is Prime factorization? ​

Answer 1

$\blue{\bold{\underline{\underline{Prime\:Factorization:-}}}}$

• Integer factorization is the decomposition of a composite number into a product of smaller integers

• If these factors are further restricted to prime numbers, the process is called prime factorization

$\blue{\bold{\underline{\underline{Example:-}}}}$

• For example, the prime factors of 126 will be 2, 3 and 7 as 2 × 3 × 7 = 126 and 2, 3, 7 are primes.

The prime factors of a number are all the prime numbers that, when multiplied together, equal the original number. You can find the prime factorization of a number by using a factor tree and dividing the number into smaller parts

The method of prime factorization is used to “break down” or express a given number as a product of prime numbers. More so, if a prime number occurs more than once in the factorization, it is usually expressed in exponential form to make it look more compact.
