Prime factorization of $$$2434$$$

Find the prime factorization of $$$2434$$$.

Start with the number $$$2$$$.

Determine whether $$$2434$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$2434$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{2434}{2} = {\color{red}1217}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}1217}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}1217}$$$: $$$\frac{1217}{1217} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$2434 = 2 \cdot 1217$$$.

The prime factorization is $$$2434 = 2 \cdot 1217$$$A.
