Prime factorization of $$$4846$$$

Find the prime factorization of $$$4846$$$.

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

Determine whether $$$4846$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$4846$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{4846}{2} = {\color{red}2423}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}2423}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}2423}$$$: $$$\frac{2423}{2423} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$4846 = 2 \cdot 2423$$$.

The prime factorization is $$$4846 = 2 \cdot 2423$$$A.
