Prime factorization refers to whole numbers, not decimals.
Prime factorization is the result of expressing a number as the product of its prime factors. It will assist you in finding the GCF and LCM of any given number set.
Prime factorization is the process of determining all of the prime factors of a given number. Prime factors are the prime numbers that when multiplied together give you the number to be factored. For example the prime factorization of 30 is 15 x 2
When all the factors are prime numbers, that's a prime factorization.
