Prime factorization of $$$4222$$$

Find the prime factorization of $$$4222$$$.

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

Determine whether $$$4222$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$4222$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{4222}{2} = {\color{red}2111}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}2111}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}2111}$$$: $$$\frac{2111}{2111} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$4222 = 2 \cdot 2111$$$.

The prime factorization is $$$4222 = 2 \cdot 2111$$$A.
