What is a prime factor string?
A prime factor string is a way to express a number by listing its prime factors along with their respective exponents. For example, for the number 60, the prime factorization is (2^2 \times 3^1 \times 5^1). The "prime factor string" in this case is a formatted representation that captures this factorization. It shows each prime factor and the number of times it divides the original number.

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.
