Explanation of number 280 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 280 it is expressing 280 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 280.

Since number 280 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 280, we have to iteratively divide 280 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 280:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 280 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

280 ÷ 2 = 140

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

140 ÷ 2 = 70

70 ÷ 2 = 35

35 ÷ 5 = 7

7 ÷ 7 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 280. It is: 2, 2, 2, 5, 7

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 5 × 7
