Explanation of number 236 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 236 it is expressing 236 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 236.

Since number 236 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 236, we have to iteratively divide 236 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 236:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 236 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

236 ÷ 2 = 118

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

118 ÷ 2 = 59

59 ÷ 59 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 236. It is: 2, 2, 59

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 59
