Every number known can be expressed as a product of its prime factors. Prime factorization involves finding the prime numbers that when multiplied will give the true number.
Prime numbers are numbers that are products of 1 and itself only.
For the number 60;
60 = 2 x 30
= 2 x 2 x 15
= 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
In index form; 2² x 3 x 5
