Explanation of number 360 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 360 it is expressing 360 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 360.

Since number 360 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 360, we have to iteratively divide 360 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 360:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 360 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

360 ÷ 2 = 180

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

180 ÷ 2 = 90

90 ÷ 2 = 45

45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 360. It is: 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 32 × 5
