  • ✅ Prime factors of any integer

  • ✅ Factorization step by step

  • ✅ Useful in LCM, GCF, cryptography, and algebra

💡 Features:

  • Simple input for any positive integer

  • Instant factorization into prime numbers

  • Step-by-step breakdown of the process

  • Works for small and very large numbers

👤 Who Should Use This:

  • 📌 Students learning factors and prime numbers

  • 📌 Teachers explaining number theory

  • 📌 Researchers & professionals working in cryptography

  • 📌 Anyone simplifying fractions or solving LCM/GCF

✅ Pro Tip:

Prime factorization is the process of breaking down a number into prime numbers only (e.g., 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5). These are the "building blocks" of numbers.

🔗 Related Tools:

Prime factorization is expressing a number as a product of prime numbers only. Example: 30 = 2 × 3 × 5.

It helps simplify fractions, find LCM & GCF, and is also the basis of cryptography (RSA encryption uses prime factorization).

The theorem states that every integer greater than 1 has a unique prime factorization (ignoring order). For example, 84 = 2² × 3 × 7.

Because composite numbers can be further broken down, but prime numbers cannot. They are the "building blocks" of all natural numbers.
