I don't know how, but I forgot what prime factorization is. Could someone explain for me?

Prime factorization or integer factorization of a number is the determination of the set of prime numbers which multiply together to give the original integer

A prime number can only be divided by 1 or itself, so it cannot be factored any further! Every other whole number can be broken down into prime number factors.

Hope it helps!
