The process of breaking down a large number into smaller prime numbers is prime factorization

How to determine the term of the process?

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

  • Breaks down a large number into smaller prime numbers
  • When the smaller prime numbers multiplied, it arrives at that larger number.

Mathematically, the above can be expressed as

28 = 2 * 2 * 7

In the above expression, we have

Large number = 28

Smaller prime numbers = 2 and 7

This process is called prime factorization
