or

32 × 59

Explanation of number 531 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 531 it is expressing 531 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 531.

Since number 531 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 531, we have to iteratively divide 531 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 531:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 531 without a remainder is 3. So the first calculation step would look like:

531 ÷ 3 = 177

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

177 ÷ 3 = 59

59 ÷ 59 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 531. It is: 3, 3, 59

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 32 × 59
