Explanation of number 96 Prime Factorization
Prime Factorization of 96 it is expressing 96 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 96.
Since number 96 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.
To get a list of all Prime Factors of 96, we have to iteratively divide 96 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.
Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 96:
The smallest Prime Number which can divide 96 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:
96 ÷ 2 = 48
Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:
48 ÷ 2 = 24
24 ÷ 2 = 12
12 ÷ 2 = 6
6 ÷ 2 = 3
3 ÷ 3 = 1
Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 96. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3
Or you may also write it in exponential form: 25 × 3
