Prime Factorizatioin

In Number Theory, We use the prime factorization method for many parts of math.
  • Finding the GCM and LCM of sets and numbers
  • Finding how many divisors a number has
  • To find the product of the divisors of numbers using n^t(n)/2
  • Place numbers in expo form
  • Find the prime fact.

We used prime factorization because it would be helpful in breaking down large numbers into certain groups easier than some other methods.

I'm certain that Prime Factorization is related in cryptology since cryptology has something to do with breaking and deciphering codes using conventional methods. Prime Factorization is used in other maths to help solve numbers easily in different problems
