Break down any number into its prime factors with exponent form.
Prime factorization is expressing a composite number as a product of prime numbers. By the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, every integer greater than 1 has a unique prime factorization. It is used for finding GCF, LCM, simplifying square roots, and in cryptography.
| Number | Prime Factorization | Notation |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | 2 × 2 × 3 | 2² × 3 |
| 36 | 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 | 2² × 3² |
| 60 | 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 | 2² × 3 × 5 |
| 100 | 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 | 2² × 5² |
| 360 | 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 | 2³ × 3² × 5 |
