It allows you to find all the factors of a number. Prime factorisation is necessary for calculating the greatest common factor and least common multiple of sets of numbers. That information is essential for working with rational numbers.

What is the prime factorization of 256^180
113 is already prime. No factorization.
3 is already prime. No factorization.

Saying "The" Instead of "A"The prime factorization is used instead of a prime factorization because there is only one correct prime factorization of any given number. Of course, that refers to composite numbers because prime numbers have no prime factorization.The use of the word "a" implies that more than one prime factorization is possible when it's not. The use of the word "the" signifies that only one prime factorization is possible, though there are various ways to arrive at it.
When all the factors are prime numbers, that's a prime factorization.

Prime Factorization of 22The prime factorization of 22 is:2 X 11Both numbers are prime, so 2 X 11 is the prime factorization of 22.
The prime factorization is... 2x2x2x2x2x5x5
how do i get the prime factorization of 45
prime factorization is the factorization of numbers
Prime factorization!
When asked for a factorization, it is generally understood to mean the prime factorization.
The prime number is the prime factorization. For example, the prime factorization of the prime number 3 is 3. Get it?
Yes. Any prime number greater than 100 has only itself in its prime factorization. Examples: The prime factorization of 101 is 101. The prime factorization of 109 is 109. The prime factorization of 127 is 127. The prime factorization of 311 is 311. The prime factorization of 691 is 691.
