Explanation of number 225 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 225 it is expressing 225 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 225.

Since number 225 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 225, we have to iteratively divide 225 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 225:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 225 without a remainder is 3. So the first calculation step would look like:

225 ÷ 3 = 75

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

75 ÷ 3 = 25

25 ÷ 5 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 225. It is: 3, 3, 5, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 32 × 52
