Your Input

Find the prime factorization of $$$3985$$$.

Solution

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

Determine whether $$$3985$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

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

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

Determine whether $$$3985$$$ is divisible by $$$3$$$.

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

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

Determine whether $$$3985$$$ is divisible by $$$5$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$3985$$$ by $$${\color{green}5}$$$: $$$\frac{3985}{5} = {\color{red}797}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}797}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}797}$$$: $$$\frac{797}{797} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$3985 = 5 \cdot 797$$$.

Answer

The prime factorization is $$$3985 = 5 \cdot 797$$$A.
