Question

blank numbers can be written as a product of blank factors this is called the prime factorization of a number

Answer 1

When a composite number is written as a product of all of its primefactors, we have the prime factorization of the number. For example, the number 72can be written as a product of primes as: 72 = .

Answer 2

The correct answers are:

Composite and prime.

Explanation:

The prime factorization of an umber is when you take a number that is not prime (called a composite number) and break it down into factors that cannot be broken down any further. These are called prime factors, since they are only divisible by 1 and themselves.
