Explanation of number 460 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 460 it is expressing 460 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 460.

Since number 460 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 460, we have to iteratively divide 460 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 460:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 460 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

460 ÷ 2 = 230

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

230 ÷ 2 = 115

115 ÷ 5 = 23

23 ÷ 23 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 460. It is: 2, 2, 5, 23

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 5 × 23
