How many longest strings of factors are there for a given number?
For composite numbers, only one string of factors is the longest; the prime factorization.
How is prime factorization different from finding factors of a number?
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers, one is neither. When finding the factors of a number, you find all the factors. The prime factorization is a multiplication string of just prime factors that will total the given number.
What is the difference between a factor string and prime factorization?
A factor string consists of any factors (except 1) that multiply to equal the number. Prime factorization consists of only prime numbers that multiply to equal the number. In the case where the factors of the original number consists only of primes, there is no difference.
