Explanation of number 656 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 656 it is expressing 656 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 656.

Since number 656 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 656, we have to iteratively divide 656 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 656:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 656 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

656 ÷ 2 = 328

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

328 ÷ 2 = 164

164 ÷ 2 = 82

82 ÷ 2 = 41

41 ÷ 41 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 656. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 41

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 24 × 41
