The document discusses factors and prime factorization of numbers. It provides examples of finding the factors of numbers like 30 and 26. The factors are the numbers that divide a given number with no remainder. Prime factorization is finding the prime factors of a number. There are two methods described - the factor tree method and the continuous division method. The factor tree method involves breaking down each factor into prime factors until only prime numbers remain. The continuous division method involves continuously dividing the number by the smallest prime factor. Examples are given of using these methods to find the prime factors of 40 and 27.
