Prime Factorization of 30

What is the Prime Factorization of 30?

Answer: Prime Factors of 30: 2, 3, 5

Explanation of number 30 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 30 it is expressing 30 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 30.

Since number 30 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 30, we have to iteratively divide 30 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 30:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 30 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

30 Γ· 2 = 15

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

15 Γ· 3 = 5

5 Γ· 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 30. It is: 2, 3, 5
