Prime Factorization of 282

What is the Prime Factorization of 282?

Answer: Prime Factors of 282: 2, 3, 47

Explanation of number 282 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 282 it is expressing 282 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 282.

Since number 282 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 282, we have to iteratively divide 282 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 282:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 282 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

282 ÷ 2 = 141

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

141 ÷ 3 = 47

47 ÷ 47 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 282. It is: 2, 3, 47
