Prime Factorization

In our 6th class we all must have learnt about Prime Factors, Whole number, Prime numbers etc….

Today let us discuss about Prime Factorization:

Fist let us understand what is a Prime Number?

A Prime Number is a whole number, greater than 1, that can be evenly divided only by 1 or itself.

PRIME FACTORIZATION:-

Converting the composite numbers in to multiplication of numbers is known as factorization, simplifying till the prime numbers is known as prime factorization.

"Prime Factorization" is finding which prime numbers you need to multiply together to get the original number. Converting the composite numbers in to multiplication of numbers is known as factorization, simplifying till the prime numbers is known as prime factorization.
For e.g. the Prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3 (6 = 2*3). Here both have multiplicity 1.
