Unit 2 Section 2.2 – Prime Factorization

Objective : to write any whole number as the product of primes. Vocabulary Prime – Composite – Factorization – Exponent - Hard to believe fact: EVERY number (except for 0 and 1, but you know how they can be) is created by multiplying ONLY prime numbers.

Prime factorization requires you to factor a number into the primes that create it. Example Example Way 1Way

Example Example Way 1 Way Example Example Way 1 Way
