Explanation of number 3840 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 3840 it is expressing 3840 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 3840.

Since number 3840 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 3840, we have to iteratively divide 3840 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 3840:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 3840 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

3840 ÷ 2 = 1920

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

1920 ÷ 2 = 960

960 ÷ 2 = 480

480 ÷ 2 = 240

240 ÷ 2 = 120

120 ÷ 2 = 60

60 ÷ 2 = 30

30 ÷ 2 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 3840. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 28 × 3 × 5
