 * __THE CONCEPT OF PRIME FACTORIZATION__**
 * Prime Factorization is..............**
 * Well, first you need to know what prime numbers are, prime numbers are numbers that only have 2 factors. Like 3. Factorization is ... let's say 12, so to reduce it to prime numbers, you say 2x6. 2 is prime, then split 6 into 3 and 2 and get 2x2x3. 147 can be split into 3x49, 49 can be split into 7 and 7, so it's 3x7x7. So every number is made of prime numbers.**
 * So what is this used for? Well, it's useful for cracking codes related with numbers, known as cryptography. For example, 4,294,967,296 it can be factored to 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2. So maybe 4,294,967,296 can represent some 32 letter sentence (or anything).**
