Explanation of number 88 Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization of 88 it is expressing 88 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 88.
Since number 88 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.
To get a list of all Prime Factors of 88, we have to iteratively divide 88 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.
Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 88:
The smallest Prime Number which can divide 88 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:
88 ÷ 2 = 44
Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:
44 ÷ 2 = 22
22 ÷ 2 = 11
11 ÷ 11 = 1
Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 88. It is: 2, 2, 2, 11
