Answer: Prime Factors of 52: 2, 2, 13

or

22 × 13

Explanation of number 52 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 52 it is expressing 52 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 52.

Since number 52 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 52, we have to iteratively divide 52 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 52:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 52 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

52 ÷ 2 = 26

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

26 ÷ 2 = 13

13 ÷ 13 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 52. It is: 2, 2, 13

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 13
