Understanding Prime Factorization Concepts

The video tutorial explains prime factorization by first defining factors and prime numbers. It uses the number 12 to illustrate factors and discusses how to identify prime numbers. The concept of prime factorization is then introduced, showing how a number can be expressed as a product of its prime factors, using 12 as an example.

What two concepts are essential to understand prime factorization?

• Multiplication and Division

• Even and Odd Numbers

• Prime Numbers and Factors

• Addition and Subtraction
