Prime Factorization

This math topic focuses on determining whether one number is a factor of another through prime factorization. It includes problems where students must compare the prime factorization of two numbers to see if the factors of the first number completely appear in the second. The problems typically format as "Is [first number] a factor of [second number]?" with a structured breakdown of each number’s prime factors. The topic is a part of broader units on factoring and finding the greatest common factor, enhancing students' understanding of number relationships and divisibility rules.
