Introduction

In number theory, integer factorization or prime factorization is the decomposition of a composite number into smaller non-trivial divisors, which when multiplied together equal the original integer. When a prime factorization has the same prime factor (f) appearing x number of times in a prime factorization, the factors can be written as f^x. There are several methods to performing a prime factorization. The "factor tree" method is one of the most common methods to finding a prime factorization. It represents the prime factors of a positive integer in a "family tree" layout or diagram.^[1]
