Explanation of number 126 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 126 it is expressing 126 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 126.

Since number 126 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 126, we have to iteratively divide 126 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 126:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 126 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

126 ÷ 2 = 63

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

63 ÷ 3 = 21

21 ÷ 3 = 7

7 ÷ 7 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 126. It is: 2, 3, 3, 7

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 2 × 32 × 7
