Prime factorization of $$$3484$$$

Find the prime factorization of $$$3484$$$.

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

Determine whether $$$3484$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$3484$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{3484}{2} = {\color{red}1742}$$$.

Determine whether $$$1742$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$1742$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{1742}{2} = {\color{red}871}$$$.

Determine whether $$$871$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$3$$$.

Determine whether $$$871$$$ is divisible by $$$3$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$5$$$.

Determine whether $$$871$$$ is divisible by $$$5$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$7$$$.

Determine whether $$$871$$$ is divisible by $$$7$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$11$$$.

Determine whether $$$871$$$ is divisible by $$$11$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$13$$$.

Determine whether $$$871$$$ is divisible by $$$13$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$871$$$ by $$${\color{green}13}$$$: $$$\frac{871}{13} = {\color{red}67}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}67}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}67}$$$: $$$\frac{67}{67} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$3484 = 2^{2} \cdot 13 \cdot 67$$$.

The prime factorization is $$$3484 = 2^{2} \cdot 13 \cdot 67$$$A.
