Explanation of number 156 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 156 it is expressing 156 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 156.

Since number 156 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 156, we have to iteratively divide 156 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 156:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 156 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

156 ÷ 2 = 78

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

78 ÷ 2 = 39

39 ÷ 3 = 13

13 ÷ 13 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 156. It is: 2, 2, 3, 13

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 3 × 13
