Prime factorization of $$$4918$$$

Find the prime factorization of $$$4918$$$.

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

Determine whether $$$4918$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$4918$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{4918}{2} = {\color{red}2459}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}2459}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}2459}$$$: $$$\frac{2459}{2459} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$4918 = 2 \cdot 2459$$$.

The prime factorization is $$$4918 = 2 \cdot 2459$$$A.
