Faktoritele

Faktoritele are the numbers that are multiplied to produce another number. They are also known as divisors, as they divide the product evenly. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12, because 12 can be evenly divided by each of these numbers. Factors are always whole numbers and can be positive or negative. The number 1 and the number itself are always factors of any given number. Factors are fundamental in number theory and have applications in various fields, including cryptography and computer science. Prime factorization is a process that involves expressing a number as a product of its prime factors, which are the prime numbers that multiply to give the original number. For instance, the prime factorization of 12 is 2^2 * 3. Understanding factors is crucial for solving problems related to divisibility, greatest common divisors, and least common multiples.
