10/31/10 CHASE :D

what are the different uses of prime factorization? some uses are for finding LCM, GCD, the number of divisors in a number, the primes a number is divisible by, finding the product of divisors of a number, and putting a number in exponential notation.

is prime factorization used in cryptography? im sure it is. cryptography... as far as i know, is the breakdown of hidden codes through numbers; im sure prime factorization plays its role in some forms of cryptography because it simplifies much more complicated numbers down to its primes, and that could be VERY useful in cracking code
