Explanation of number 408 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 408 it is expressing 408 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 408.

Since number 408 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 408, we have to iteratively divide 408 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 408:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 408 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

408 ÷ 2 = 204

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

204 ÷ 2 = 102

102 ÷ 2 = 51

51 ÷ 3 = 17

17 ÷ 17 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 408. It is: 2, 2, 2, 3, 17

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 3 × 17
