Prime factorization of $$$1486$$$
Your Input
Find the prime factorization of $$$1486$$$.
Solution
Start with the number $$$2$$$.
Determine whether $$$1486$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$1486$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{1486}{2} = {\color{red}743}$$$.
The prime number $$${\color{green}743}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}743}$$$: $$$\frac{743}{743} = {\color{red}1}$$$.
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: $$$1486 = 2 \cdot 743$$$.
Answer
The prime factorization is $$$1486 = 2 \cdot 743$$$A.
