Explanation of number 60 Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization of 60 it is expressing 60 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 60.
Since number 60 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.
To get a list of all Prime Factors of 60, we have to iteratively divide 60 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.
Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 60:
The smallest Prime Number which can divide 60 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:
60 ÷ 2 = 30
Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:
30 ÷ 2 = 15
15 ÷ 3 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1
Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 60. It is: 2, 2, 3, 5
Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 3 × 5
