Explanation of number 588 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 588 it is expressing 588 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 588.

Since number 588 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 588, we have to iteratively divide 588 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 588:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 588 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

588 ÷ 2 = 294

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

294 ÷ 2 = 147

147 ÷ 3 = 49

49 ÷ 7 = 7

7 ÷ 7 = 1
