Best Answer

All composite numbers can be expressed as the product of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.

Example: 30

30 Divide by two.

15,2 Divide by three.

5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.

2 x 3 x 5 = 30

That's the prime factorization of 30.
