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.
