Explanation of number 660 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 660 it is expressing 660 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 660.

Since number 660 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 660, we have to iteratively divide 660 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 660:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 660 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

660 ÷ 2 = 330

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

330 ÷ 2 = 165

165 ÷ 3 = 55

55 ÷ 5 = 11

11 ÷ 11 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 660. It is: 2, 2, 3, 5, 11

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 22 × 3 × 5 × 11
