Explanation of number 160 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 160 it is expressing 160 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 160.

Since number 160 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 160, we have to iteratively divide 160 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 160:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 160 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

160 ÷ 2 = 80

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

80 ÷ 2 = 40

40 ÷ 2 = 20

20 ÷ 2 = 10

10 ÷ 2 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 160. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 25 × 5
