The disadvantage of prime factorization is that it can be time-consuming with larger numbers.
No, prime factorizations consist entirely of prime numbers.
No prime power exists since there are no duplicate prime numbers in the prime factorization.
Prime factorization refers to whole numbers, not fractions. 100/50 = 2, which is already prime and therefore has no prime factorization other than itself.
