whats factorization?

http://www.mathsisfun.com/prime-factorization.html

factorization is when you find different odd numbers to equal a number.

for ex. 8 FACTORS OF 8: 2,4
4 CAN BE DIVIDED MORE SO 2*2 IS 4
now you have to find all the odd numbers those that you just wrote

2*2*2=8
this is factorization.

THANK YOU!

Factorization is the process of breaking down a number or an algebraic expression into its factors, which are numbers or expressions that multiply together to give the original number or expression. In simpler terms, it is finding the smaller numbers or expressions that, when multiplied, give the original value.

For example, consider the number 12. It can be factored as 2 × 2 × 3, where 2 and 3 are the prime factors of 12. This means that 12 can be expressed as the product of these prime factors.

Similarly, in algebra, we can factorize algebraic expressions by finding common factors or using various techniques such as grouping, difference of squares, or perfect square trinomials.

The process of factorization can help simplify complex expressions, solve equations, find common factors, and identify patterns in numbers or mathematical expressions.
