Throughout this past week i have learned more about prime factorization. Speciffically how to demonstrate prime factorization, you can use one of two ways. You could use a factor tree (first picture) or a divison table (second picture) to find out the prime factorization. For both methods you start with the lowest prime factor, and divide it into the example number. Then you continue to do the same thing with that number untill it no longer factors perfectly, then you take the next lowest prime number that factors and the rule continues on. I prefer to use division tables becasue with especially largr numbers, in factor trees the work can get sloppy and confusing.
