This math topic focuses on prime factorization and determining whether one number is a factor of another. It involves comparing the prime factors of two numbers to ascertain if the first number's prime factors completely divide the second number without a remainder. Each question presents two numbers in prime factored form and asks if the first number is a factor of the second. This skill is pertinent for understanding advanced concepts in factoring and greatest common factors.
