<h3>What does prime factorization serve as?</h3>

In mental arithmetic, fractions, finding square roots, and computing the HCF and LCM of two smaller numbers, prime factorization is a highly helpful tool when working with whole numbers. A whole number higher than 1 whose only elements are 1 and itself is referred to as a prime number. A whole number that may be split evenly into another number is referred to as a factor.
