Decomposition means to break down. 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.
Nothing decomposes into their prime factors spontaneously, but composite numbers can be decomposed into prime factors.
You mean prime factors?
It means to separate something into smaller factors.
Do you mean prime factors? The prime factors of 1411 are 17 and 83.
it means to find out if the number is composite or prime
do you mean the prime factors? 65 = 13 x 5 so its prime factors are 13 and 5
I think you mean prime factors 2x2x2x2x2
When two or more numbers have one or more of the same primes as factors, those prime factors are called common prime factors. For example, the prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3, and the prime factors of 21 are 3 and 7, so 3 is a common prime factor of 6 and 21.
Presumably you mean the prime factors, which are 2 and 7
To express a composite number as the product of its prime factors.
I assume you mean prime factors. 78 = 2*3*13
It has only two factors.
