How to calculate the prime factorization number?



For example we take the number 15, Since 15 ÷ 3 = 5, we know that 3 and 5 are factors of 15. 1 and 15 are also factors but we don’t use them here because when finding the prime factorization, we always use factors other than 1 and number itself. So the prime factorization of the number 15 is 3 times 5.

Think of the prime factorization of a number is the prime factors of the number that you multiply together to get the original number.

How this calculator works? For example we take the number 81, We need to divide 81 by prime numbers to find it’s factors.

81 ÷ 3 = 27 (27 * 3)
27 ÷ 3 = 9 (9 * 3 * 3)
9 ÷ 3 = 3 (3 * 3 * 3 * 3)
