Math Notes 5-1

The document provides notes on finding the prime factorization of composite numbers. It defines prime and composite numbers, with prime numbers only having two factors and composite numbers having more than two. A factor tree can be used to break down a composite number into its prime factors by repeatedly dividing by the largest prime factor. For example, the prime factorization of 24 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3.

Math Notes 5-1

7th grade math Mrs. Jennifer Johnson 1. Objective: Find the prime factorization ofacomposite number. 2. Prime number a whole number greater than 1 that has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. Examples: 2 = 2x1 3 = 3x1 4 = 4x1 5 = 5x1 7 = 7x1 3. Composite number a whole number greater than 1 that has more than two factors. Examples: 4 = 1 x 4 or 2 x 2 Therefore, 4 has 3 factors (1,2,4) 4. Factors two or morenumbers that are multiplied together to form a product. Determine whether the number is prime or composite: 17 Prime because it only has two factors: 1 and 17 5. prime factorization when a composite number iswrittenas a product of primenumbers.
