Understanding Prime Decomposition

“Have you ever wondered what makes up a number? Let’s talk about prime decomposition.

Every whole number can be broken down into smaller building blocks called prime numbers — numbers

that can only be divided by 1 and themselves. For example, take 60.

Divide it by 2 — that’s 30. Divide by 2 again — 15. Then divide by 3

— 5. And 5 is prime. So, 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5.

No matter how you start, you’ll always end up with the same primes.

That’s the power of prime decomposition — the DNA of every number!”
