Explanation of number 264 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 264 it is expressing 264 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 264.

Since number 264 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 264, we have to iteratively divide 264 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 264:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 264 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

264 ÷ 2 = 132

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

132 ÷ 2 = 66

66 ÷ 2 = 33

33 ÷ 3 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 264. It is: 2, 2, 2, 3, 11

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 3 × 11
