Explanation of number 2040 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 2040 it is expressing 2040 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 2040.

Since number 2040 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 2040, we have to iteratively divide 2040 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 2040:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 2040 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

2040 ÷ 2 = 1020

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

1020 ÷ 2 = 510

510 ÷ 2 = 255

255 ÷ 3 = 85

85 ÷ 5 = 17

17 ÷ 17 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 2040. It is: 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 17

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 3 × 5 × 17
