Explanation of number 320 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 320 it is expressing 320 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 320.

Since number 320 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 320, we have to iteratively divide 320 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 320:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 320 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

320 ÷ 2 = 160

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

160 ÷ 2 = 80

80 ÷ 2 = 40

40 ÷ 2 = 20

20 ÷ 2 = 10

10 ÷ 2 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 320. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 26 × 5
