Prime factoring Calculator Introduction

1, prime factor refers to a composite number can be decomposed into the product of several prime numbers, then these prime numbers are the prime factors of this composite number.

2, the prime number refers to the natural numbers greater than 1, only 1 and its own two factors, such as 2, 3, 5, 7, etc.

3, for example, for the composite number 12, it can be decomposed into 2×2×3, then 2 and 3 are prime factors of 12.

4, prime factors have important applications in mathematics, especially in number theory, cryptography and other fields. Through prime factorization, we can better understand the properties of a number, as well as perform some mathematical operations and proofs.

5, note: 1 is not a prime number, nor is it a prime factor of composite numbers. Every composite number has a unique prime factorization (regardless of the order of the prime factors), which is part of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.
