Explanation of number 54 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 54 it is expressing 54 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 54.

Since number 54 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 54, we have to iteratively divide 54 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 54:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 54 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

54 ÷ 2 = 27

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

27 ÷ 3 = 9

9 ÷ 3 = 3

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 54. It is: 2, 3, 3, 3

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 2 × 33
