Factors
Factors are the number we multiply together to get another number.
Example
3*4=12
3 and 4 are the factors of 12
Prime number
A whole number which has exactly two factor that is 1 and the number itself.
2,3,5,7...are some of the prime numbers.
Prime factorization
A prime factorization is finding which prime numbers multiply together to get the original number
Example
12 = 4*3=6*2=2*3*2
In the above example, 4 and 6 are not prime numbers.
In, 12=2*3*2 where 2,3,2 are prime numbers.
Hence the prime factors of 12 is 2 , 3 , 2.
