Factorizer User Guide
Factorization is the process of writing a number as a product of its factors. This tool finds all factors and performs prime factorization.
Key Concepts:
- Factor: A number that divides another number evenly
- Prime Factor: A factor that is also a prime number
- Perfect Square: A number that can be expressed as the square of an integer
Examples:
| Number | Factors | Prime Factorization |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | 1,2,3,4,6,12 | 2² × 3 |
| 36 | 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36 | 2² × 3² |
| 64 | 1,2,4,8,16,32,64 | 2⁶ |
| 97 | 1,97 | Prime |
