Explanation of number 32 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 32 it is expressing 32 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 32.

Since number 32 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 32, we have to iteratively divide 32 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 32:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 32 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

32 ÷ 2 = 16

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

16 ÷ 2 = 8

8 ÷ 2 = 4

4 ÷ 2 = 2

2 ÷ 2 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 32. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 25
