Prime factorization is the process of separating a composite number into its prime factors.
A prime factorization is equal to a number's prime factors multiplied to equal itself. For example,
24=12•2=6•2•2=3•2•2•2
3•2•2•2 is the prime factorization of 24, since the numbers multiply to 24, and are all prime numbers.
