Explanation of number 270 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 270 it is expressing 270 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 270.

Since number 270 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 270, we have to iteratively divide 270 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 270:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 270 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

270 ÷ 2 = 135

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

135 ÷ 3 = 45

45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 270. It is: 2, 3, 3, 3, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 2 × 33 × 5
