Math encryption algorithm

Welcome to math tutor online free,
Every time you send a credit card number over the Internet, it gets
encrypted by your browser, and the encryption algorithm is based on
the theory of prime numbers. At some point, electronic money will
become as common as paper money, and _that_ will also be based on the
theory of prime numbers. examples on math forum;
And what's used more in the real world than
money?

The importance of prime numbers is that any integer can be decomposed
into a product of primes. For example, if you want to know how many
different pairs of numbers can be multiplied to get 360, you can start
trying to write them down,

1 * 360
2 * 180
3 * 120
4 * 90
5 * 72
6 * 60

checking every single number up to 180, and hope that you don't miss
any; or you can decompose 360 into its prime factors,

360 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5

with the assurance that every factor of 360 will be a product of a
subset of these prime factors.
