Explanation of number 12,000 Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization of 12,000 is expressing 12,000 as the product of prime factors. In other words, it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 12,000.
Since number 12,000 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.
To get a list of all Prime Factors of 12,000, we have to iteratively divide 12,000 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.
Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 12,000:
The smallest Prime Number which can divide 12,000 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:
12,000 ÷ 2 = 6,000
Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:
6,000 ÷ 2 = 3,000
3,000 ÷ 2 = 1,500
1,500 ÷ 2 = 750
750 ÷ 2 = 375
375 ÷ 3 = 125
125 ÷ 5 = 25
25 ÷ 5 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1
Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 12,000. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5
Or you may also write it in exponential form: 25 × 3 × 53
