32 is an even number (look at the ones place). The only even prime is 2.
95 has 5 as a factor (again look at the ones place). Multiples of 5 have a 0 or 5 in the ones place.That is how you figer out if 32 and 95 in not a Prime number.

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.
Why do you need the common prime factors when finding the greatest common factor?
You do not necessarily need the common prime factors when finding the greatest common factor, but with large numbers or numbers for which you cannot easily determine all the factors, using prime factorization to determine the greatest common factor is the easiest method. The greatest common factor can then be determined by multiplying the common prime factors together. For example, when trying to find the greatest common factor of 2144 and 5672, finding all their possible factors to compare could be difficult. So, it is easier to find their prime factors, determine the prime factors they have in common, and then multiply the common prime factors to get the greatest common factor. For descriptions and examples of finding the greatest common factor, see the "Related Questions" links below.
Do prime numbers have factors?
Yes, prime numbers have factors. A prime number has only two factors(1 and itself).
What is the difference between prime factors and prime factorization?
Prime factors are prime numbers that are multiplied with other numbers (taht could possibly be prime) to make a product. Prime factorisation is the process of finding the prime numbers that create another number when they are multiplied together. Example of Prime Factorisation: 20 2x10 2x2x5 The prime factors found are 2,2, and 5. When multiplying these together, you will get 20. The process of finding these prime numbers is called factorisation.
What are the prime numbers and conposite?

How do you tell prime numbers without finding the factors?
There are lists of them online.

How can you find the GCF of a given set of numbers given their LCM but without listing the factors of the numbers?
By finding their common prime numbers.
What is the difference between finding the factors of a number and finding the prime factors of a number?
No difference. Once you've found the factors of a number, the prime numbers on that list are the prime factors.
Are prime factors and prime factorization the same?
No. Prime factors are the numbers that make up other numbers, but they have to be prime. Prime factorisation is the process of finding the prime numbers that create a number. This is when you multiply the prime numbers together and the product is the original number. For example: 20 5x4 5x2x2 This process is called prime factorisation. In this case, the prime numbers are 2, 2, and 5.

How can you find the least common multiple of 3 numbers?
By finding their prime factors
What is a number with no factors called?
Numbers without factors are PRIME Numbers. Taking the first ten numbers. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. The prime numbers are 2,3,5,7, they have no factors. 4,6,8,9,10. Are not prime numbers as they have factors. 4 has a factor of '2' 6 has factors of '2 & 3'. 8 has factors of' 2 & 4'. or' 2,2,2.' 9 has factors of '3,3', 10 has factors of '2 5.' '1' is unique

What are the uses of prime and composite numbers?
All composite numbers have prime factors and these are used to find the highest common factor of 2 or more numbers and they are also used in finding the lowest common multiple of 2 or more numbers. Composite numbers have 2 or more factors while prime numbers have only 2 factors which are themselves and one
