Explanation of number 64 Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization of 64 it is expressing 64 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 64.
Since number 64 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.
To get a list of all Prime Factors of 64, we have to iteratively divide 64 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.
Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 64:
The smallest Prime Number which can divide 64 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:
64 ÷ 2 = 32
Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:
32 ÷ 2 = 16
16 ÷ 2 = 8
8 ÷ 2 = 4
4 ÷ 2 = 2
2 ÷ 2 = 1
Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 64. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
