Factors and Multiples

The document discusses factors and multiples of numbers, including prime numbers, and how the fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that any integer greater than 1 can be written as a product of prime numbers. It provides examples of decomposing integers into their prime factors using a factor tree method. The document also mentions that primes are the building blocks for all integers.

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
(circa 300 BC)

Any integer greater than 1
1
can be written as a product

of prime numbers.

But why does this
matter ?

Period
All Integers can be made from primes

15 = 3 x 5

52 = 2 x 2 x 13

1000 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5
