Explanation of number 520 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 520 it is expressing 520 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 520.

Since number 520 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 520, we have to iteratively divide 520 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 520:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 520 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

520 ÷ 2 = 260

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

260 ÷ 2 = 130

130 ÷ 2 = 65

65 ÷ 5 = 13

13 ÷ 13 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 520. It is: 2, 2, 2, 5, 13

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 5 × 13
