Prime Factorization


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview

Every natural number $ n \geq 2$ can be decomposed into its prime factors:

$\displaystyle n = \prod_{i=1}^k p_i^{m_i}
\,,
$

with $ p_i \neq p_j$ for $ i \neq j$. This factorization is unique, except for the order in which the factors appear.
