Factor strings don't necessarily have to be composed entirely of prime numbers. But the longest factor string, the one that is entirely prime numbers, that's the prime factorization.

Is prime factorization and longest factor string the same thing?
Yes.
Is factor string the same as factor tree?
Not really. A factor string is a multiplication sentence. A factor tree is a way of notating the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. End result: 4 x 9 can be a factor string for 36, but can't be a prime factorization. The prime factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3.
If you factor with different numbers do you get the same prime factorization?
Yes.
A multiple of 5 does not end in 5 prime factorization of the number is a string of three numbers two of the prime factorization are the same and greater than the seventh square number?
567
Can the greatest common factor and the least common multiple have the same number in prime factorization?
Only if they're the same number.
Is the factorization of 24 the same as the prime factorization of 24?
Yes.
Is the product of a prime number the same as the prime factorization?
A prime factorization is the same as expressing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. Prime numbers don't have factorizations; they're already prime.
Can 2 numbers have the same prime factorization?
Only if they're the same number. Every composite number has a unique prime factorization.
What number only has 1 number in prime factorization?
Prime numbers only have one prime factor. Prime factorizations have at least two. Sometimes they're the same number (2 x 2 = 4) so we could say it has one distinct prime factor.
How do you find the prime factorization of 34?
One way to find the prime factorization of a number is to start with the lowest prime number and see if it evenly divides the number. If it does, check whether the result of the division is divisible by that same prime number. When the prime number you are testing does not evenly divide that number, continue with the next prime number. Continue this until the result of the division is a prime number.Check whether 34 is divisible by 2:34 ÷ 2 = 1717 is a prime number, so the prime factorization is finished.The prime factorization of 34 is 2 x 17.Another way to find the prime factorization of a number is to choose a factor pair for that number. Then, find a factor pair for each of those numbers that is not prime.A factor tree of 34 is34/ \2 17Both 2 and 17 are prime, so the tree is finished.The prime factorization of 34 is 2 x 17.
How do you make a factor firework for 28?
Factor trees, ladders, rainbows, fireworks... They're all the same thing; ways of displaying the prime factorization of a given number. The prime factorization of 28 is 2 x 2 x 7. Write it however you wish. 7,2,2 14,2 28
Is there more then one prime factorization of 576?
No. Every composite number has one unique prime factorization. You can write it with or without exponents, but it's still the same prime factorization.
