Explanation of number 260 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 260 it is expressing 260 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 260.

Since number 260 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 260, we have to iteratively divide 260 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 260:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 260 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

260 ÷ 2 = 130

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

130 ÷ 2 = 65

65 ÷ 5 = 13

13 ÷ 13 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 260. It is: 2, 2, 5, 13

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 5 × 13
