Explanation of number 657 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 657 it is expressing 657 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 657.

Since number 657 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 657, we have to iteratively divide 657 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 657:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 657 without a remainder is 3. So the first calculation step would look like:

657 ÷ 3 = 219

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

219 ÷ 3 = 73

73 ÷ 73 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 657. It is: 3, 3, 73

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 32 × 73
