Prime Factorization of 50

What is the Prime Factorization of 50?

Answer: Prime Factors of 50: 2, 5, 5

or

2 × 52

Explanation of number 50 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 50 it is expressing 50 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 50.

Since number 50 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 50, we have to iteratively divide 50 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 50:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 50 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

50 ÷ 2 = 25

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

25 ÷ 5 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 50. It is: 2, 5, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 2 × 52
