Explanation of number 496 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 496 it is expressing 496 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 496.

Since number 496 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 496, we have to iteratively divide 496 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 496:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 496 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

496 ÷ 2 = 248

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

248 ÷ 2 = 124

124 ÷ 2 = 62

62 ÷ 2 = 31

31 ÷ 31 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 496. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 31

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 24 × 31
