this week in math I learned how to find the prime factorization and 3 ways to show results. you can find the prime factorization by repeatedly dividing the number by the lowest prime factor and dividing that quotient until it can’t anymore and moving on to the next lowest factor it can divide into until there is any left. then those prime factors that we divided by including how many times I divided each of them which can be shown using exponents are the prime factors of this number. I can show this by showing the number then beside with an equal sign the prime factors and the factors with multiple times can be shown like this “ ” and how many times they were divided by. Another way would be to show the number and draw two lines connected to the prime factor and the result and do that over and over like a brain idea web but with numbers. the 3rd way is basically the 2nd but in a 2-column graph where the prime factors are in the first column and the quotients are on the 2nd column
