Explanation of number 524 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 524 it is expressing 524 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 524.

Since number 524 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 524, we have to iteratively divide 524 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 524:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 524 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

524 ÷ 2 = 262

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

262 ÷ 2 = 131

131 ÷ 131 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 524. It is: 2, 2, 131

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 131
