Review: A prime number is a counting number that only has two factors, itself and one. Counting numbers which have more than two factors (such as six, whose factors are 1, 2, 3 and 6), are said to be composite numbers. The number one only has one factor and is considered to be neither prime nor composite.
Prime factorization is a way of expressing a number as a product of prime numbers. The prime numbers used in the product statement are called the prime factors of the number.
