To find the prime factorization of a number:

Begin by listing 2 numbers that will multiply to make your number.

6 = 2 * 3

Can we find 2 numbers to multiply to make 2, or 3? (aside from 1)

No, of course not.

In fact, 2 and 3 are prime. Once you have all primes, you can stop.

6 = 2 * 3

2 * 3 is the prime factorization of 6.
