Prime Factorization of 120 Prime Factorization Least Common Factor Greatest Common Factor Exponents Powers of Ten & Scientific Notation • An exponent tells how many times to multiply a number, called the base, by itself. • A number written with a base and an exponent is in exponential form. • Prime factorization is taking a number and breaking it down into its prime factors. • A prime number has exactly two factors – 1 and itself. • A composite number has more than two factors. • The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides evenly into each of the numbers. • The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the numbers. • Move the decimal point 6 places to get a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. • The exponent is equal to the number of decimal places you moved the point.
