All composite numbers can be expressed as the product of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.

Example: 30

30 Divide by two.

15,2 Divide by three.

5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.

2 x 3 x 5 = 30

That's the prime factorization of 30.
