product of its prime numbers.
- Prime Numbers are numbers with only two factors one and itself.
- The smallest prime number is 2.
- Composite Numbers are numbers with 3 or more factors.
• There are Two Ways of Prime Factorization

• In writing Prime Factorization, start from the smallest number to the
largest from left to right.
- You can also use the exponential form of writing prime factors if
there are repeating numbers. The number of times a number is made
as a factor is the exponent.
That’s all for today.
