Explanation of number 132 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 132 it is expressing 132 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 132.

Since number 132 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 132, we have to iteratively divide 132 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 132:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 132 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

132 ÷ 2 = 66

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

66 ÷ 2 = 33

33 ÷ 3 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 132. It is: 2, 2, 3, 11

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 3 × 11
