Explanation of number 248 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 248 it is expressing 248 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 248.

Since number 248 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 248, we have to iteratively divide 248 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 248:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 248 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

248 ÷ 2 = 124

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

124 ÷ 2 = 62

62 ÷ 2 = 31

31 ÷ 31 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 248. It is: 2, 2, 2, 31

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 31
