사용 방법
  1. Enter any whole number greater than 1.
  2. The calculator will break the number down into its smallest building blocks (prime numbers).
  3. It provides the result in both a standard list (e.g., 2 × 2 × 3 × 3) and exponential format (e.g., 2² × 3²).
  4. It will also confirm if the number you entered is itself a Prime Number or a Composite Number.

공식

Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic:
Every integer greater than 1 either is a prime number itself or can be represented as the product of prime numbers, and this representation is unique.

Example for 360:
360 / 2 = 180
180 / 2 = 90
90 / 2 = 45
45 / 3 = 15
15 / 3 = 5
5 / 5 = 1
Factors: 2³ × 3² × 5¹

Prime Factorization is the process of breaking down a composite number into the prime numbers that multiply together to form it. This is a crucial concept in cryptography, number theory, and finding greatest common divisors (GCD) or least common multiples (LCM).
