Prime Factorization Calculator

Each composite number can be written as the product of several prime numbers. Each prime number is a factor of this composite number, which is called the prime factor of this composite number. Prime factorization is only for composite numbers.

For a simple example, the factors of 12 can be as follows: 12=2x2x3=4x3=1x12=2x6, among which 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 can all be said to be factors of 12, that is, the multiplied numbers are equal to a natural number, then these numbers are the factors of this natural number. Among 2, 3, and 4, 2 and 3 are prime numbers, that is, prime factors, and 4 is not a prime number. So what is a prime number? It is a number that cannot be decomposed into factors other than 1 and itself, such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, etc. There is no specific pattern for prime numbers, and there is no largest prime number.
