Explanation of number 864 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 864 it is expressing 864 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 864.

Since number 864 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 864, we have to iteratively divide 864 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 864:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 864 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

864 ÷ 2 = 432

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

432 ÷ 2 = 216

216 ÷ 2 = 108

108 ÷ 2 = 54

54 ÷ 2 = 27

27 ÷ 3 = 9

9 ÷ 3 = 3

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 864. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 25 × 33
