Answer: Prime Factors of 502: 2, 251

Explanation of number 502 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 502 it is expressing 502 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 502.

Since number 502 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 502, we have to iteratively divide 502 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 502:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 502 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

502 ÷ 2 = 251

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

251 ÷ 251 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 502. It is: 2, 251
