Explanation of number 3600 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 3600 it is expressing 3600 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 3600.

Since number 3600 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 3600, we have to iteratively divide 3600 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 3600:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 3600 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

3600 ÷ 2 = 1800

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

1800 ÷ 2 = 900

900 ÷ 2 = 450

450 ÷ 2 = 225

225 ÷ 3 = 75

75 ÷ 3 = 25

25 ÷ 5 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 3600. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 24 × 32 × 52
