Abstract
The article shows how the factorization of an arbitrary Lorentz transformation is performed. That is, the representation of an arbitrary Lorentz transformation as a sequence of a spatial rotation and a boost or a boost and a spatial rotation. Relations are obtained that determine the required boosts and turns.
