Explanation of number 204 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 204 it is expressing 204 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 204.

Since number 204 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 204, we have to iteratively divide 204 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 204:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 204 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

204 ÷ 2 = 102

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

102 ÷ 2 = 51

51 ÷ 3 = 17

17 ÷ 17 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 204. It is: 2, 2, 3, 17

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 3 × 17
