Explanation of number 198 Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization of 198 it is expressing 198 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 198.
Since number 198 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.
To get a list of all Prime Factors of 198, we have to iteratively divide 198 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.
Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 198:
The smallest Prime Number which can divide 198 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:
198 ÷ 2 = 99
Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:
99 ÷ 3 = 33
33 ÷ 3 = 11
11 ÷ 11 = 1
Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 198. It is: 2, 3, 3, 11
