Explanation of number 486 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 486 it is expressing 486 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 486.

Since number 486 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 486, we have to iteratively divide 486 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 486:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 486 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

486 ÷ 2 = 243

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

243 ÷ 3 = 81

81 ÷ 3 = 27

27 ÷ 3 = 9

9 ÷ 3 = 3

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 486. It is: 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 2 × 35
