Prime Factorization of 222

What is the Prime Factorization of 222?

Answer: Prime Factors of 222: 2, 3, 37

Explanation of number 222 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 222 it is expressing 222 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 222.

Since number 222 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 222, we have to iteratively divide 222 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 222:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 222 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

222 ÷ 2 = 111

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

111 ÷ 3 = 37

37 ÷ 37 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 222. It is: 2, 3, 37
