Explanation of number 540 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 540 it is expressing 540 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 540.

Since number 540 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 540, we have to iteratively divide 540 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 540:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 540 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

540 ÷ 2 = 270

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

270 ÷ 2 = 135

135 ÷ 3 = 45

45 ÷ 3 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 540. It is: 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 33 × 5
