Every positive integer greater than 1 is either a prime number or can be represented as a product of prime numbers. This is known as the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic.
Why Use Factorization?
- Number Theory: Essential for finding the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) and Least Common Multiple (LCM).
- Fraction Simplification: Factor both the numerator and denominator to find common terms.
- Cryptography: Large-scale factorization is the core challenge behind breaking RSA encryption.
