How to use the Prime Factors
1
Prime factorization
Every integer greater than 1 can be expressed uniquely as a product of prime numbers (the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic). For example: 360 = 2³ × 3² × 5. Prime factorization is the foundation of cryptography, number theory and many mathematical algorithms.
