Prime factorization of $$$4874$$$

Find the prime factorization of $$$4874$$$.

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

Determine whether $$$4874$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$4874$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{4874}{2} = {\color{red}2437}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}2437}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}2437}$$$: $$$\frac{2437}{2437} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$4874 = 2 \cdot 2437$$$.

The prime factorization is $$$4874 = 2 \cdot 2437$$$A.
