All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.
Example: 210
210 Divide by two.
105,2 Divide by three.
35,3,2 Divide by five.
7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
That's the prime factorization of 210.
23 is already prime, no factorization required.
25 = 32
The prime facorization for 222 is 2*3*37
2*2*2*7
It is: 2*3*5 = 30
2 x 3 x 17
It is: 2*2*5*5 =100
2 x 2 x 23
980 = 2*2*5*7*7.
63 = 3 x 3 x 7
2 x 2 x 11 = 44
2 x 2 x 19 = 76
