It allows you to find all the factors of a number. Prime factorisation is necessary for calculating the greatest common factor and least common multiple of sets of numbers. That information is essential for working with rational numbers.

How does prime factorization relate to Venn Diagrams?
A Venn diagram may be used to display a prime factorization.
Why do you say the prime factorization instead a prime factorization?
Saying "The" Instead of "A"The prime factorization is used instead of a prime factorization because there is only one correct prime factorization of any given number. Of course, that refers to composite numbers because prime numbers have no prime factorization.The use of the word "a" implies that more than one prime factorization is possible when it's not. The use of the word "the" signifies that only one prime factorization is possible, though there are various ways to arrive at it.
Is 3x5x4 a prime factorization of 60?
No, 3x5x4 is not a prime factorization of 60. A prime factorization of 60 would consist of only prime numbers. The prime factorization of 60 is 2x2x3x5.
