Explanation of number 492 Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization of 492 it is expressing 492 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 492.
Since number 492 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.
To get a list of all Prime Factors of 492, we have to iteratively divide 492 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.
Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 492:
The smallest Prime Number which can divide 492 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:
492 ÷ 2 = 246
Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:
246 ÷ 2 = 123
123 ÷ 3 = 41
41 ÷ 41 = 1
Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 492. It is: 2, 2, 3, 41
Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 3 × 41
