Explanation of number 688 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 688 it is expressing 688 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 688.

Since number 688 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 688, we have to iteratively divide 688 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 688:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 688 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

688 ÷ 2 = 344

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

344 ÷ 2 = 172

172 ÷ 2 = 86

86 ÷ 2 = 43

43 ÷ 43 = 1
