Prime Factorization of 501

What is the Prime Factorization of 501?

Answer: Prime Factors of 501: 3, 167

Explanation of number 501 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 501 it is expressing 501 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 501.

Since number 501 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 501, we have to iteratively divide 501 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 501:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 501 without a remainder is 3. So the first calculation step would look like:

501 ÷ 3 = 167

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

167 ÷ 167 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 501. It is: 3, 167
