explain what strategies you use to determine the prime factorization of a whole number. Be as specific as possible.
"Divide and conquer method!" Divide the number n, by ALL prime numbers less than or equal to the square root of n: Example: factor 174. Square root of 174=13.19. You try all the primes <=13. That is:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13. You will see that the prime factors of 174= 2 x 3 x 29.
