Prime factorization is the process of breaking a number down into the product of its prime factors. For example, 60 can be factorized as 2 × 2 × 3 × 5, or 2² × 3 × 5. Common methods include repeatedly dividing by the smallest prime until the result is 1. Prime factorization underpins concepts like Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) and Least Common Multiple (LCM). It is extremely useful in simplifying fractions, analyzing cryptographic algorithms, and understanding integer properties. Regular practice with small to large numbers strengthens your factoring agility and cements foundational number theory skills.
