Primtalsfaktorisering
Primtalsfaktorisering, also known as integer factorization or prime factorization, is the process of determining the prime numbers that multiply together to make a given number. This concept is fundamental in number theory and has applications in various fields, including cryptography and computer science. The prime factors of a number are unique, except for the order in which they are listed.
The process of prime factorization involves dividing a given number by the smallest prime number possible,
For example, to find the prime factors of 60, one would start by dividing 60 by the
Prime factorization can be done using various methods, including trial division, the Sieve of Eratosthenes, and
In cryptography, prime factorization is a critical component of many encryption algorithms, such as RSA. The
