to help find prime factorizations of composite numbers
You can find the GCF and/or the LCM of a set of numbers by comparing the prime factorizations of the individual members of the set.
The first step in finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is to determine the prime factorization of each number. This involves breaking down each number into its prime factors. Once you have the prime factorization of each number, you can identify the common factors and the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers. Finally, multiply these common factors together to find the LCM.

if that's a listing of prime factorizations, they can be found on this website.
for s being prime find all s so that s² < 50 { 4 , 25 , 49...and one more }
First, find the prime factorization of the number. For instance, with 45: 45 = 3 * 3 * 5 = 32 * 51 Now, from this prime factorization, any numbers whose prime factorizations do not include these factors is coprime to the number you have.
To simplify a fraction using prime numbers, find the prime factors of both the numerator and denominator. Then, divide the numerator and denominator by their common prime factors. Repeat this process until there are no common prime factors left. The resulting fraction will be simplified to its simplest form.
To simplify fractions, it is necessary to divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF. You can find their GCF by comparing their prime factorizations. You can find their prime factorizations through the use of factor trees.
a and b have no common prime factors. Their LCM is their product.
The same as with smaller numbers. Every composite number, no matter the size, can be expressed as the product of prime factors. Comparing prime factorizations will give you the GCF.
You do a factor rainbow to find a prime factorization. You compare prime factorizations to find a greatest common factor.
