Do you mean, "What is the prime factorization of 21?"
I am not really sure what you mean but prime numbers but the prime factorization of 972 is 2x2x3x3x3x3x3
When asked for a factorization, it is generally understood to mean the prime factorization.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Prime numbers don't have prime factorizations because they are already prime.
Do you mean what is a list of prime numbers up to 11? If that is the question, the answer is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11. If you're asking for the prime factorization, it doesn't have one. 11 is already prime. The only prime factor of 11 is 11.
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.
== Will you please answer my question?! Will you please answer my question?! == In number theory ( http://www.answers.com/topic/number-theory ), integer factorization is the process of breaking down a composite number ( http://www.answers.com/topic/composite-number ) into smaller non-trivial integers ( http://www.answers.com/topic/divisor-2 ), which when multiplied together equal the original integer. Source:integer-factorization== The prime factors of a positive integer are the prime numbers that divide into that integer exactly, without leaving a remainder.The process of finding these numbers is called integer factorization, or prime factorization.

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.
Finding the prime factorization of a nunber means that all the factors will be prime. For example, 100: 4 X 25 = 100, but 4 and 25 are not prime numbers, so you have to factor them. 4 X 25 2 X 2 X 5 X 5 = 100 All the factors are prime, so this is the prime factorization of 100.
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.
Express them as a product of their prime factors; give the prime factorization. Example: 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
Prime factorization is a way of writing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. The prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3. 2 x 3 is the prime factorization of 6.
