Explanation of number 27 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 27 it is expressing 27 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 27.

Since number 27 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 27, we have to iteratively divide 27 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 27:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 27 without a remainder is 3. So the first calculation step would look like:

27 ÷ 3 = 9

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

9 ÷ 3 = 3

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 27. It is: 3, 3, 3

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 33
