What are the different uses of prime factorization? Well in class, we have been using prime factorization for things like finding the gcd, lcm, numbers of divisors, and other very complicated things. Prime factorization make it easier to figure out different problems because it simplifys a number down. I'm pretty sure we will be using prime factorization in crytography. We might use it to help us decode different things because prime factorization simplifys the number down, this would make it easier to do. I'm sure that prime factorization is used in many different types of math and we will be using it all the time now.(:
