Explanation of number 208 Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization of 208 it is expressing 208 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 208.
Since number 208 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.
To get a list of all Prime Factors of 208, we have to iteratively divide 208 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.
Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 208:
The smallest Prime Number which can divide 208 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:
208 ÷ 2 = 104
Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:
104 ÷ 2 = 52
52 ÷ 2 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13
13 ÷ 13 = 1
Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 208. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 13
