Explanation of number 1080 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 1080 it is expressing 1080 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 1080.

Since number 1080 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 1080, we have to iteratively divide 1080 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 1080:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 1080 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

1080 ÷ 2 = 540

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

540 ÷ 2 = 270

270 ÷ 2 = 135

135 ÷ 3 = 45

45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 1080. It is: 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 33 × 5
