Explanation of number 279 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 279 it is expressing 279 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 279.

Since number 279 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 279, we have to iteratively divide 279 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 279:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 279 without a remainder is 3. So the first calculation step would look like:

279 ÷ 3 = 93

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

93 ÷ 3 = 31

31 ÷ 31 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 279. It is: 3, 3, 31

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 32 × 31
