Explanation of number 342 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 342 it is expressing 342 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 342.

Since number 342 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 342, we have to iteratively divide 342 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 342:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 342 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

342 ÷ 2 = 171

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

171 ÷ 3 = 57

57 ÷ 3 = 19

19 ÷ 19 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 342. It is: 2, 3, 3, 19

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 2 × 32 × 19
