Explanation of number 872 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 872 it is expressing 872 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 872.

Since number 872 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 872, we have to iteratively divide 872 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 872:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 872 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

872 ÷ 2 = 436

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

436 ÷ 2 = 218

218 ÷ 2 = 109

109 ÷ 109 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 872. It is: 2, 2, 2, 109

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 23 × 109
