Explanation of number 188 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 188 it is expressing 188 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 188.

Since number 188 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 188, we have to iteratively divide 188 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 188:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 188 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

188 ÷ 2 = 94

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

94 ÷ 2 = 47

47 ÷ 47 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 188. It is: 2, 2, 47
