Any factor that isn't prime.
No, prime factorizations consist entirely of prime numbers.
composite numbers
Somewhere in front of you was a list of numbers. The instructions were asking you to break down the numbers and write them as a product of their prime factors. This is known as the prime factorization. The prime factorization of 30 is 2 x 3 x 5.
It depends on whether 1 is considered a factor. If yes, then the answer to the question is no, since 1 and the number itself are the two factors implying that it is a prime. If 1 is not considered as a factor, then the square of any prime meets the requirements. If p is a prime, then p and p2 are the only two factors of p2.
All numbers that have exactly two factors are prime numbers whereas composite numbers have more than two factors.
It normally refers to composite numbers

a prime factorization
Not necessarily. The prime factorization of the composite number 10 is 2 x 5. Composite numbers have three or more factors.

That's a prime factorization.
Prime factorization never includes a composite number. All numbers in prime factorization must be prime numbers.
It's the process of breaking numbers into factors, composite parts that multiply to create a product.
For composite numbers, only one string of factors is the longest; the prime factorization.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers, one is neither. When finding the factors of a number, you find all the factors. The prime factorization is a multiplication string of just prime factors that will total the given number.
It tells you if a number is prime or composite and it also gives you a few factors of the number.
Composite numbers have more than two factors some of which are prime factors but prime numbers themselves have only two factors. A prime number has only 2 factors which are itself and one A composite number has more than 2 factors
