Explanation of number 556 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 556 it is expressing 556 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 556.

Since number 556 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 556, we have to iteratively divide 556 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 556:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 556 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

556 ÷ 2 = 278

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

278 ÷ 2 = 139

139 ÷ 139 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 556. It is: 2, 2, 139

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 139
