Explanation of number 228 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 228 it is expressing 228 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 228.

Since number 228 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 228, we have to iteratively divide 228 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 228:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 228 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

228 ÷ 2 = 114

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

114 ÷ 2 = 57

57 ÷ 3 = 19

19 ÷ 19 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 228. It is: 2, 2, 3, 19

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 3 × 19
