We are sometimes asked to rewrite a composite number as a product of its prime factorization. That's redundant, since a prime factorization is a product by definition. The (product of the) prime factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3.
The prime factorization is... 2x2x2x2x2x5x5
The prime number is the prime factorization. For example, the prime factorization of the prime number 3 is 3. Get it?
Yes. Any prime number greater than 100 has only itself in its prime factorization. Examples: The prime factorization of 101 is 101. The prime factorization of 109 is 109. The prime factorization of 127 is 127. The prime factorization of 311 is 311. The prime factorization of 691 is 691.
Prime Factorization of 9 and 15The prime factorization of 9 is:3 X 3The prime factorization of 15 is:3 X 5
