Explanation of number 1998 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 1998 it is expressing 1998 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 1998.

Since number 1998 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 1998, we have to iteratively divide 1998 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 1998:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 1998 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

1998 ÷ 2 = 999

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

999 ÷ 3 = 333

333 ÷ 3 = 111

111 ÷ 3 = 37

37 ÷ 37 = 1
