Prime Number Definition:
- A whole number larger than 1
- Only divisible by itself and 1
Composite Number Definition:
- A whole number larger than 1
- Divisible by some number other than itself or 1
Neither Prime nor Composite:
- 0 is not prime or composite
- 1 is not prime or composite
Finding the Prime Factorization of a Whole Number:
Composite Numbers:
- Find any two factors (excluding the number and 1)
- Check each of the two factors to determine if they are prime
- Build a list that contains each prime factor
- For any composite factor, repeat the steps until all factors are prime
