Explanation of number 72000 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 72000 it is expressing 72000 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 72000.

Since number 72000 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 72000, we have to iteratively divide 72000 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 72000:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 72000 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

72000 ÷ 2 = 36000

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

36000 ÷ 2 = 18000

18000 ÷ 2 = 9000

9000 ÷ 2 = 4500

4500 ÷ 2 = 2250

2250 ÷ 2 = 1125

1125 ÷ 3 = 375

375 ÷ 3 = 125

125 ÷ 5 = 25

25 ÷ 5 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 72000. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 26 × 32 × 53
