Nobody. That is because there is no pattern to prime numbers. There are various methods to find some classes of prime numbers but none that will find all of them.
One method for finding prime numbers is called the "Sieve of Eratosthenes" because it basically "sifts" through the numbers looking for numbers that are not not prime.
No one has ever discovered the mathematical pattern for prime numbers and all that is known about them is that each prime number has only 2 factors which are itself and one.
It is a semi-prime, which is a product of two prime numbers.

Since prime numbers only have one prime factor (themselves), factor trees are unnecessary.
The method of sieving the multiples of prime numbers until only the prime numbers remain, while attributed to Eratosthenes, is originally thought to have been the work of Nicomachus.

their isn't a formula or method for finding prime numbers. Prim numbers are just all the numbers that have only two factors not including zero. Like 2 is a prime number because it can be multiplied by 1 and two two get it but not all even numbers are prime 2 is the only one another example is 5 because to get 5 you can only multiply it by 1 and 5

If done correctly, yes.
No. Prime factorization is the method of expressing a number as the product of prime numbers. So, Prime factorization of 42 = 2x3x7
