Explanation of number 300 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 300 it is expressing 300 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 300.

Since number 300 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 300, we have to iteratively divide 300 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 300:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 300 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

300 ÷ 2 = 150

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

150 ÷ 2 = 75

75 ÷ 3 = 25

25 ÷ 5 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 300. It is: 2, 2, 3, 5, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 3 × 52
