Prime factorization of $$$2474$$$
Your Input
Find the prime factorization of $$$2474$$$.
Solution
Start with the number $$$2$$$.
Determine whether $$$2474$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$2474$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{2474}{2} = {\color{red}1237}$$$.
The prime number $$${\color{green}1237}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}1237}$$$: $$$\frac{1237}{1237} = {\color{red}1}$$$.
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: $$$2474 = 2 \cdot 1237$$$.
Answer
The prime factorization is $$$2474 = 2 \cdot 1237$$$A.
