Explanation of number 740 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 740 it is expressing 740 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 740.

Since number 740 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 740, we have to iteratively divide 740 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 740:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 740 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

740 ÷ 2 = 370

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

370 ÷ 2 = 185

185 ÷ 5 = 37

37 ÷ 37 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 740. It is: 2, 2, 5, 37
