Prime Factorization

The prime factorization of a number is the decomposition of the number into its prime factors. The prime factors of a number are the prime numbers that divide the number without leaving a remainder.

For example, the prime factorization of 15 is 3×5. This means that 15 can be divided by 3 and 5 without leaving a remainder. The prime factorization of 12 is 2x2x3. This means that 12 can be divided by 2, 3, and 6 without leaving a remainder.

There are many different types of factor pairs that can be use in mathematics. The most common type of factor pair is the linear pair. A linear pair is a pair of factors that are related by a linear equation. For example, the pair (2,4) is a linear pair because they are both factors of 4. Another type of factor pair is the quadratic pair. A quadratic pair is a pair of factors that are related by a quadratic equation. For example, the pair (3,9) is a quadratic pair because they are both factors of 9. The last type of factor pair is the exponential pair. An exponential pair is a pair of factors that are related by an exponential equation. For example, the pair (4,16) is an exponential pair because they are both factors of 16.
