Explanation of number 636 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 636 it is expressing 636 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 636.

Since number 636 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 636, we have to iteratively divide 636 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 636:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 636 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

636 ÷ 2 = 318

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

318 ÷ 2 = 159

159 ÷ 3 = 53

53 ÷ 53 = 1
