Understanding Prime Numbers and Factorization

In this lesson, we will explore prime numbers and factorization:

Prime Numbers:

• Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc., are prime numbers.
• Any number that can be divided by numbers other than 1 and itself is called a composite number.

Factorization:

• Factorization involves breaking down a number into its factors. For example, the factorization of 12 is 2 × 2 × 3, or 2² × 3.
• Prime factorization is the factorization of a number into prime numbers. For example, the prime factorization of 18 is 2 × 3 × 3, or 2 × 3².

Let's practice identifying prime numbers and their factorizations!
