Explanation of number 396 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 396 it is expressing 396 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 396.

Since number 396 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 396, we have to iteratively divide 396 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 396:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 396 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

396 ÷ 2 = 198

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

198 ÷ 2 = 99

99 ÷ 3 = 33

33 ÷ 3 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 396. It is: 2, 2, 3, 3, 11
