Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization is a way of writing numbers as the product of prime numbers. Prime numbers are natural numbers that have only two divisors, 1 and themselves. Composite numbers, on the other hand, have more than two divisors.
Let’s learn how to perform the prime factorization of numbers step by step.
