Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is Prime Factorization?

Prime factorization is the process of breaking down a composite number into a product of prime numbers that, when multiplied together, equal the original number (e.g. 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2³ × 3²).

Q What is the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic?

The theorem states that every integer greater than 1 either is a prime itself or can be represented uniquely as a product of prime numbers, up to the order of the factors.

Q How do you determine the total count of divisors from prime powers?

Add 1 to each prime exponent and multiply them together. For 72 = 2³ × 3², total divisors = (3 + 1) × (2 + 1) = 4 × 3 = 12 divisors.
