Assuming you mean positive whole numbers, then all numbers greater than 1 can be factorised using prime numbers only. Some of the numbers are prime themselves, eg 2, 3, 5, 7 and so factorise into themselves; others are composite and so factorise into the product of 2 primes, eg 8 = 2 x 2 x 2, 12 = 2 x 2 x 3
a2+16 cannot be factored. There are no two numbers whose product is 16 and whose sum is 0.
a²-a = a(a-1)
Placing a question mark at the end of a list of expressions or numbers does not make it a sensible question. What do you want? To evaluate it (impossible), factorise it, something else?
