Explanation of number 550 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 550 it is expressing 550 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 550.

Since number 550 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 550, we have to iteratively divide 550 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 550:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 550 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

550 ÷ 2 = 275

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

275 ÷ 5 = 55

55 ÷ 5 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 550. It is: 2, 5, 5, 11

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 2 × 52 × 11
