Explanation of number 5940 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 5940 it is expressing 5940 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 5940.

Since number 5940 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 5940, we have to iteratively divide 5940 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 5940:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 5940 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

5940 ÷ 2 = 2970

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

2970 ÷ 2 = 1485

1485 ÷ 3 = 495

495 ÷ 3 = 165

165 ÷ 3 = 55

55 ÷ 5 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 5940. It is: 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 11

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 33 × 5 × 11
