Prime factorization of $$$3062$$$

Find the prime factorization of $$$3062$$$.

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

Determine whether $$$3062$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$3062$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{3062}{2} = {\color{red}1531}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}1531}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}1531}$$$: $$$\frac{1531}{1531} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$3062 = 2 \cdot 1531$$$.

The prime factorization is $$$3062 = 2 \cdot 1531$$$A.
