Prime factorization of $$$4516$$$
Your Input
Find the prime factorization of $$$4516$$$.
Solution
Start with the number $$$2$$$.
Determine whether $$$4516$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$4516$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{4516}{2} = {\color{red}2258}$$$.
Determine whether $$$2258$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$2258$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{2258}{2} = {\color{red}1129}$$$.
The prime number $$${\color{green}1129}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}1129}$$$: $$$\frac{1129}{1129} = {\color{red}1}$$$.
Since we have obtained $$$1$$$, we are done.
Now, just count the number of occurences of the divisors (green numbers), and write down the prime factorization: $$$4516 = 2^{2} \cdot 1129$$$.
Answer
The prime factorization is $$$4516 = 2^{2} \cdot 1129$$$A.
