Find the prime factorization of NUMBER.

Use the arrows to change the exponent on each prime number below to see if you can find the prime factorization.

We can use a factor tree to break NUMBER into its prime factorization. Which of the prime numbers divides into NUMBER?

path([[graph.cx + 1, graph.y - 0.5], [graph.cx, graph.y - 1.5]]); path([[graph.cx + 1, graph.y - 0.5], [graph.cx + 2, graph.y - 1.5]]); graph.y -= 2; graph.cx += 1; graph.curr = graph.curr / FACTOR; label( [graph.cx - 1, graph.y], FACTOR, {color: BLUE} ); circle( [graph.cx - 1, graph.y], 0.5); graph.lastLabel = label( [graph.cx + 1, graph.y], graph.curr );

REMAINING[I] is divisible by FACTOR, leaving us with REMAINING[I] / FACTOR.

circle( [graph.cx + 1, graph.y], 0.5); graph.lastLabel.remove(); label( [graph.cx + 1, graph.y], graph.curr, {color: BLUE} );

FACTORIZATION[FACTORIZATION.length-1] is prime, so we're done factoring.

The prime factorization of NUMBER is:

\qquadFACTORIZATION.join("\\space\\color{black}{\\cdot}\\space")

Because there are toSentence(EXPONENT_HINT), we can use exponents to write the prime factorization as:

Because there is toSentence(EXPONENT_HINT), we can use exponents to write the prime factorization as:
