Explanation of number 242 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 242 it is expressing 242 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 242.

Since number 242 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 242, we have to iteratively divide 242 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 242:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 242 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

242 ÷ 2 = 121

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

121 ÷ 11 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 242. It is: 2, 11, 11
