Explanation of number 12000 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 12000 it is expressing 12000 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 12000.

Since number 12000 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 12000, we have to iteratively divide 12000 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 12000:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 12000 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

12000 ÷ 2 = 6000

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

6000 ÷ 2 = 3000

3000 ÷ 2 = 1500

1500 ÷ 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 12000. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 25 × 3 × 53
