A Prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. 2^4 is composite.
No number has that prime factorization since 4 isn't prime.
2 is a prime number, but since 4 is divisible by 2, then 4 is not prime.
That applies to any power of 2, like 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on.
Prime factorization is the finding which prime number multiply to get to make the original number. Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4 Prime Factorization: 2 2 x 2 = 4
Because 2 is a prime number. 2 x 2 is the prime factorization of 4. 2 x 2 x 2 is the prime factorization of 8. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 is the prime factorization of 16, and so on.
The number 4 is not a prime number, because it is divisible by 2.
Multiply the factors, and you will know.
It is: 2*2*2*2*3 = 48 or as 2 to the power of 4 times 3
4 = 4, and 4 = 2 x 2, so either a single prime number to the power 4-1 (23, 33, etc.), or two different prime numbers, each to the power 2-1, for example, 2x3, 2x5, 3x5, etc.
4 is a composite number, not a prime numberbecause 2 x 2= 4
3**2=9 4**2=16 11 and 13 are the only two primes between 9 and 16.
Use any power of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, etc.). That way, the only prime factor is 2, which is not shared by the odd number.
