Explanation of number 596 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 596 it is expressing 596 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 596.

Since number 596 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 596, we have to iteratively divide 596 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 596:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 596 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

596 ÷ 2 = 298

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

298 ÷ 2 = 149

149 ÷ 149 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 596. It is: 2, 2, 149

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 149
