Prime factorization of $$$3118$$$
Your Input
Find the prime factorization of $$$3118$$$.
Solution
Start with the number $$$2$$$.
Determine whether $$$3118$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.
It is divisible, thus, divide $$$3118$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{3118}{2} = {\color{red}1559}$$$.
The prime number $$${\color{green}1559}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}1559}$$$: $$$\frac{1559}{1559} = {\color{red}1}$$$.
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: $$$3118 = 2 \cdot 1559$$$.
Answer
The prime factorization is $$$3118 = 2 \cdot 1559$$$A.
