A factor of a number is called a prime factor.

The prime factor of a number is obtained by a factor tree method or by a division method.

The expression of a given number as a product of factors is called prime factorisation.

The prime number has 1 and the number itself is a factor.

The composite number will have more than one factor.

A number which is not a prime number is a composite.

1 and the number itself are not included in the prime factorisation of a composite number.

let us take the example

For the number 20, the prime factors are 2*2*5.

The above example is an example of the prime factorization of the composite number. where 1 and the number itself are not included in the prime factorisation of a composite number.
