Explanation of number 72,000 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 72,000 is expressing 72,000 as the product of prime factors. In other words, it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 72,000.

Since number 72,000 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 72,000, we have to iteratively divide 72,000 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 72,000:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 72,000 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

72,000 ÷ 2 = 36,000

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

36,000 ÷ 2 = 18,000

18,000 ÷ 2 = 9,000

9,000 ÷ 2 = 4,500

4,500 ÷ 2 = 2,250

2,250 ÷ 2 = 1,125

1,125 ÷ 3 = 375

375 ÷ 3 = 125

125 ÷ 5 = 25

25 ÷ 5 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 72,000. 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
