123 = 31 x 411
Each composite number has one distinct prime factorization. 3 x 41 = 123
The prime factors of 123 are 3 and 41.123 = 3 * 41
Factor trees may have been used when you were in elementary school--when you take a number and see what numbers "go into" it by making branches. Prime factorization is simply just a more sophisticated (and kind of easier) way of seeing what PRIME numbers go into a number. To do that, you must divide only use prime divisors. You keep dividing until the last number is 1. Then, using the divisors you've used, you create a multiplication problem, usually with exponents. For example, you have to do the prime factorization of 20. You choose to divide by the prime number 2, which is 10. You divide 10 by 2 which equals 5, and then you divide by 5 equaling one. Therefore, the prime factorization of 20 is 2 squared times 5.
3 and 41
Suppose you were trying to find the prime factorization of 123. You know that half of the divisors will be less than the square root. Since the square root is between 11 and 12, you only need to test 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 as prime factors. If you know the rules of divisibility, you already know that 2 and 5 aren't factors and 3 is. It saves time.
Each composite number has one distinct prime factorization. 3 x 41 = 123
3 x 41 = 123
123 = 3 x 41
3 x 41 = 123
Not sure about wrighting anything, but you could write it as 123*100 except that is NOT the exponential form.
Prime factorization is factoring a number down to its prime numbers.Example: Prime factorization of 12 :123 x 43 x 2 x 2^ That is a factor treewhich shows theprime factorization
123 = 3 x 41
As a product of its prime factors: 7*19*31 = 4123
The prime factors of 4123 are 7, 19 and 31
