Explanation of number 306 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 306 it is expressing 306 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 306.

Since number 306 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 306, we have to iteratively divide 306 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 306:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 306 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

306 ÷ 2 = 153

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

153 ÷ 3 = 51

51 ÷ 3 = 17

17 ÷ 17 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 306. It is: 2, 3, 3, 17

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 2 × 32 × 17
