Explanation of number 1280 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 1280 it is expressing 1280 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 1280.

Since number 1280 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 1280, we have to iteratively divide 1280 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 1280:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 1280 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

1280 ÷ 2 = 640

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

640 ÷ 2 = 320

320 ÷ 2 = 160

160 ÷ 2 = 80

80 ÷ 2 = 40

40 ÷ 2 = 20

20 ÷ 2 = 10

10 ÷ 2 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 1280. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 28 × 5
