Prime factorization of $$$2620$$$
Your Input
Find the prime factorization of $$$2620$$$.
Solution
Start with the number $$$2$$$.
Determine whether $$$2620$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$2620$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{2620}{2} = {\color{red}1310}$$$.
Determine whether $$$1310$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$1310$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{1310}{2} = {\color{red}655}$$$.
Determine whether $$$655$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.
The next prime number is $$$3$$$.
Determine whether $$$655$$$ is divisible by $$$3$$$.
Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.
The next prime number is $$$5$$$.
Determine whether $$$655$$$ is divisible by $$$5$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$655$$$ by $$${\color{green}5}$$$: $$$\frac{655}{5} = {\color{red}131}$$$.
The prime number $$${\color{green}131}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}131}$$$: $$$\frac{131}{131} = {\color{red}1}$$$.
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: $$$2620 = 2^{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 131$$$.
Answer
The prime factorization is $$$2620 = 2^{2} \cdot 5 \cdot 131$$$A.
