Mathematical Formula & Variables
Equation Model
N = p₁^(a₁) × p₂^(a₂) × ... × p_k^(a_k)A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states every integer has a unique prime factorization.

Practical Example Calculation
Scenario Context: Checking if 24 is a prime number and finding its factorization.
Step 1: Divide by smallest prime 2: 24 ÷ 2 = 12 (divisor found, so 24 is composite).
Step 2: Continue factoring 12: 12 ÷ 2 = 6.
Step 3: Continue factoring 6: 6 ÷ 2 = 3.
Step 4: Factor 3: 3 is a prime, process terminates.
Step 5: Aggregate prime multipliers: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 2³ × 3.
24 is composite. Prime factorization is 2³ × 3.
