Explanation of number 388 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 388 it is expressing 388 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 388.

Since number 388 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 388, we have to iteratively divide 388 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 388:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 388 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

388 ÷ 2 = 194

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

194 ÷ 2 = 97

97 ÷ 97 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 388. It is: 2, 2, 97

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 97
