Explanation of number 387 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 387 it is expressing 387 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 387.

Since number 387 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 387, we have to iteratively divide 387 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 387:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 387 without a remainder is 3. So the first calculation step would look like:

387 ÷ 3 = 129

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

129 ÷ 3 = 43

43 ÷ 43 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 387. It is: 3, 3, 43

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 32 × 43
