Pre-Algebra & Math Basics: Prime Factorization

Posted on by Nathaniel

Prime factorization is when you write a whole number as a multiplication problem using only prime numbers. In this short math video on prime factorization, I cover what prime factorization looks like for a whole number and how to find it step-by-step using factor trees and factor tables. I also cover how to find the prime factorization of a prime number.

We cover the following problems in the video:
