Find the Prime Factorization 66

Problem

66

Solution

1. Identify the smallest prime number that divides the given number. Since 66 is even, it is divisible by 2

2. Divide 66 by 2 to find the next factor.

66÷2=33

3. Identify the smallest prime number that divides 33 Since 3 + 3 = 6,a*n*di*s(d(i))*v*i*s(i)*b*l*e*b*y,t*h*e*n*u*m*b*e*r3i*s(d(i))*v*i*s(i)*b*l*e*b*y$.

4. Divide 33 by 3 to find the next factor.

33÷3=11

5. Check if the remaining quotient is a prime number. Since 11 is a prime number, the factorization process is complete.

6. List all the prime factors found during the division steps.

Final Answer

66=2⋅3⋅11
