Question

difference between prime factors and prime factorisation of 2042

Answer 1

Dear student
In number theory, the prime factors of a positive integer are the prime numbers that divide that integer exactly. The prime factorization of a positive integer is a list of the integer's prime factors, together with their multiplicities; the process of determining these factors is called integer factorization.
$$\begin{gathered} 2042=2\times 1021 \\ Here,2and1021aretheprimefactorsof2042and2\times 1021istheprimefactorizationof2042. \end{gathered}$$
