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.
What is prime factortization?
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
What is the prime numbers for 374?
To find the prime factors of any number then divide the number by prime numbers of increasing value. When a prime number wholly divides the original number repeat the process with the same prime number but each time with the new quotient until complete division does not occur. Repeat with a prime number of higher value until the final quotient is 1. Using this process gives the prime factors of 374 as 2, 11 and 17.
What are the prime factors of a composite prime number?
There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
What is the difference between factors of a number and factors of a prime number?
