Answer:

a^{2}  -16 =  (a + <u>4</u>) (a - <u>4</u>)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is a^{2}  -16

Now, By ALGEBRAIC IDENTITY:

a^{2}  -b^{2}   =(a - b) (a + b)

Here, taking b^{2}  = 16, we get b = 4

as 4^{2}  = 16

So, the right hand side of a^{2}  -16 is (a + 4) (a-4)

Is it possible for a composite number to have more than one prime factorization? Is it possible for a number to have no prime fa
Nitella [24]
Prime factors are factors of a composite number that are indivisible except by the number 1 or the number itself. The answers to your questions are the following:

1. Yes, it is possible especially for very large numbers. 
2&3. No, because as mentioned previously, the default prime factors of numbers are 1 and the number itself. For example, 2 is a prime number. Its factors are 1 and 2.
4. Prime factorization are useful in fields of encryption. They make use of the basic prime numbers for the arithmetic modulus with the general equation: n=pq.
