Prime factorization of $$$46$$$
Your Input
Find the prime factorization of $$$46$$$.
Solution
Start with the number $$$2$$$.
Determine whether $$$46$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$46$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{46}{2} = {\color{red}23}$$$.
The prime number $$${\color{green}23}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}23}$$$: $$$\frac{23}{23} = {\color{red}1}$$$.
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: $$$46 = 2 \cdot 23$$$.
Answer
The prime factorization is $$$46 = 2 \cdot 23$$$A.
