Explanation of number 216 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 216 it is expressing 216 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 216.

Since number 216 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 216, we have to iteratively divide 216 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 216:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 216 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

216 ÷ 2 = 108

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

108 ÷ 2 = 54

54 ÷ 2 = 27

27 ÷ 3 = 9

9 ÷ 3 = 3

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 216. It is: 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 33
