WHEN YOU ARE WORKING WITH PRIME FATORIZATION IF IT IS PRIM WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

Answer 1

If a number is already prime, then its only prime factor is itself.  For example, 5 is a prime number so 5 is its only prime factor. Remember that 1 is not a prime number, so the prime factorization of 5 would not be 5 and 1; it would just be 5.
