Calculate Prime Factors of
The Prime Factors of 4 =
2 x
2
Prime factorization is the mathematical method of multiplying factors of a number together to get the original number. Let’s understand this concept with an example.
Example:
What is the prime factorization of 39?
First, we need to check if the given number is a prime number or not. If the number is a prime number then it cannot have more than 2 prime factors. Here, 39 is the given number and it is a composite number so it will have more than 2 factors.
The quotient is 1. Since 1 cannot be divided further, the prime factors of 39 are 3 X 13. We can also write it down as 3 and 13, as both of them are prime numbers.
