Understanding Prime Factorization

Prime factorization is the process of breaking down a number into its prime factors - numbers that can only be divided by 1 and themselves. This mathematical concept is fundamental to number theory and has practical applications in cryptography, computer science, and everyday calculations.

How It Works

The calculator follows these steps:

  1. Takes your input number
  2. Divides it by the smallest possible prime number (usually starting with 2)
  3. Continues this process until no further division is possible
  4. Displays all prime factors and their multiplicities
