or

22 × 79

Explanation of number 316 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 316 it is expressing 316 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 316.

Since number 316 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 316, we have to iteratively divide 316 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 316:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 316 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

316 ÷ 2 = 158

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

158 ÷ 2 = 79

79 ÷ 79 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 316. It is: 2, 2, 79

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 79
