Explanation of number 488 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 488 it is expressing 488 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 488.

Since number 488 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 488, we have to iteratively divide 488 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 488:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 488 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

488 ÷ 2 = 244

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

244 ÷ 2 = 122

122 ÷ 2 = 61

61 ÷ 61 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 488. It is: 2, 2, 2, 61

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 61
