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: 58

58 Divide by two.

29,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.

2 x 29 = 58

That's the prime factorization of 58.
