two differentfactors).

• Prime Factorization – A way to write a composite number as the product of its prime factors.
2 x 2 x 3 = 12or
22 x 3 = 12
![Page 12: Factors, Prime Numbers & Composite Numbers Lesson 4.1 - 4.2 Mrs. Christman](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102923/551a9203550346e0158b51cb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to do a Prime Factorization
48Step 1 – Write down any composite number.
- - Factor Tree Method - -
Step 2 – Start dividing bythe prime #s (start with 2). If the composite number is divisible by 2, write it down and find the next factor.
If not, check if the factor is evenly divisible by 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.

How to do a Prime Factorization
18Step 1 – Write down any composite number.
- - Ladder Method - -
Step 2 – Start dividing by the prime #s (start with 2). If the composite number is divisible by 2, write it on the left of the L and write the other factor below the original composite #.If not, check if the number is evenly divisible by 3, 5, etc.

Summary
• One is not a prime or composite number.• Two is the only even prime number.• Not all odd numbers are prime. (examples: 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 35, …)
• All composite numbers can be written as
product of prime numbers.
