Express them as a product of their prime factors; give the prime factorization. Example: 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210


Can you give me the meaning and a example of the word prime factorization?

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.

(1 is considered neither a prime number, nor a composite number.)

What is an example of prime numbers 49 111 97 81?

Prime numbers are numbers that can only be multiplied by 1 and itself (whole numbers only) to give the same result 49 (7x7) and 81 (9x9) are not a prime number (perfect squares actually) 111 and 97 are a prime number (find me two numbers that gives the same product without using the number 1)
