Explanation of number 3240 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 3240 it is expressing 3240 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 3240.

Since number 3240 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 3240, we have to iteratively divide 3240 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 3240:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 3240 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

3240 ÷ 2 = 1620

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

1620 ÷ 2 = 810

810 ÷ 2 = 405

405 ÷ 3 = 135

135 ÷ 3 = 45

45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 3240. It is: 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 34 × 5
