Examples
Prime Factorization of 234:
Divide by the smallest prime number (2):
234 is even, so we divide by 2.
234 ÷ 2 = 117
The first prime factor is 2.
Divide the result (117) by the next smallest prime number:
117 is not even, so we check the next smallest prime number, 3.
117 ÷ 3 = 39
The next prime factor is 3.
Continue dividing by the smallest prime number (3):
39 is also divisible by 3.
39 ÷ 3 = 13
So, another prime factor is 3.
Divide the result (13) by the next smallest prime number:
13 is a prime number itself, so it cannot be divided by any other prime number except 13.
13 ÷ 13 = 1
So, the last prime factor is 13.
Putting it all together, the prime factorization of 234 is:
234 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 13
Or, in exponent form: 234 = 21 * 32 * 131
Prime Factorization of 4627:
Check divisibility by the smallest prime number (2):
4627 is odd, so it is not divisible by 2.
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (3):
Sum of the digits of 4627: 4 + 6 + 2 + 7 = 19
19 is not divisible by 3, so 4627 is not divisible by 3.
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (5):
4627 does not end in 0 or 5, so it is not divisible by 5.
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (7):
4627 ÷ 7 ≈ 661 (not an integer, so not divisible by 7)
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (11):
Alternating sum of the digits: 4 - 6 + 2 - 7 = -7 (not divisible by 11)
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (13):
4627 ÷ 13 ≈ 356 (not an integer, so not divisible by 13)
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (17):
4627 ÷ 17 ≈ 272 (not an integer, so not divisible by 17)
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (19):
4627 ÷ 19 ≈ 243 (not an integer, so not divisible by 19)
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (23):
4627 ÷ 23 ≈ 201 (not an integer, so not divisible by 23)
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (29):
4627 ÷ 29 ≈ 159.55 (not an integer, so not divisible by 29)
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (31):
4627 ÷ 31 ≈ 149.26 (not an integer, so not divisible by 31)
Check divisibility by the next smallest prime number (37):
4627 ÷ 37 = 125 (exact division, 4627 is divisible by 37)
So, 4627 ÷ 37 = 125
Factorize 125:
125 ÷ 5 = 25
25 ÷ 5 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1
Putting it all together, the prime factorization of 4627 is:
4627 = 37 * 5 * 5 * 5
In exponent form: 4627 = 371* 53
