Explanation of number 960 Prime Factorization

Prime Factorization of 960 it is expressing 960 as the product of prime factors. In other words it is finding which prime numbers should be multiplied together to make 960.

Since number 960 is a Composite number (not Prime) we can do its Prime Factorization.

To get a list of all Prime Factors of 960, we have to iteratively divide 960 by the smallest prime number possible until the result equals 1.

Here is the complete solution of finding Prime Factors of 960:

The smallest Prime Number which can divide 960 without a remainder is 2. So the first calculation step would look like:

960 ÷ 2 = 480

Now we repeat this action until the result equals 1:

480 ÷ 2 = 240

240 ÷ 2 = 120

120 ÷ 2 = 60

60 ÷ 2 = 30

30 ÷ 2 = 15

15 ÷ 3 = 5

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Now we have all the Prime Factors for number 960. It is: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5

Or you may also write it in exponential form: 26 × 3 × 5
