Explanation of number 284 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 284 it is expressing 284 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 284.

Since number 284 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 284, we have to iteratively divide 284 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 284:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 284 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

284 ÷ 2 = 142

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

142 ÷ 2 = 71

71 ÷ 71 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 284. It is: 2, 2, 71

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 71
