Introduction

A number written as a product of primes is said to be in prime factors form

Pre-Requisites:

What do you mean by factors?

Activity:

Factorisation splits a number into simpler components. This principle can be applied to algebraic expressions as well.

Real Life Question:

How should I find LCM for large, complicated numbers?

Key Words / FlashCards
Key Words Definitions (pref. in our own words)
Factors The numbers that are multiplied to get another number
Prime factorization A number that is written in the form of ‘product of primes’
Learning aids / Gadgets
Gadgets How it can be used
Notepad Take at least 20 numbers of your choice, preferably large & write prime factorization for them.
Real life uses :

Most 5 digited or 6 digited number keys are known to be fed in the form of prime numbers for security purposes. (Not sure. Needs verification)

Practical examples around us
Examples Explainations
Prime factorization of 70 2 x 5 x 7 (1 is not included unless specifically told to be mentioned since 1 is a factor of all the numbers)
x5-6x3 + 3x4 -7x2 +1 To solve this, one needs technique of factorization
What you learn in Theory:

Algebraic expressions can be expressed in the form of products

What you learn in Practice:

Splitting an expression into simpler units will make it easier for operations
