All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.

Example: 210

210 Divide by two.

105,2 Divide by three.

35,3,2 Divide by five.

7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210

That's the prime factorization of 210.

Prime factorizations are composite numbers expressed as the product of their prime factors.

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
product means multiplication. so your statement just means multiplying two prime numbers together.

51 can be labled as a product of prime factors since its factors are 17 and 3

If it is a product of a prime factor and 0, it is 0.

If it is a product of a prime factor and 1, it is the prime factor.

If it is a product of a prime factor and any other integer, it is a composite number.
