The prime factorization of 240 is 2^{4} . 3 . 5 ⇒ last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime number is the number that has only 2 factors 1 and itself

{2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 23 , 29 , ............}

In prime factorization we use only the prime numbers

Ex: The factors of 15 are 1 , 3 , 5 , 15,

      Then the prime factors of 15 are 3 and 5 only because they are

       prime numbers

So to find the prime factors of a number do that

1. Factorize the number by divide it using prime numbers only

2. Write the number as a product of its prime factors

∵ 240 divisible by first prime number 2

∴ 240 ÷ 2 = 120

∵ 120 ÷ 2 = 60

∵ 60 ÷ 2 = 30

∵ 30 ÷ 2 = 15

- We divided the number by 2 for 4 times

∴ 2^{4} is a prime factor of 240

∵ 15 is divisible by prime number 3

∴ 15 ÷ 3 = 5

∴ 3 is a prime factor of 240

∵ 5 is divisible by prime number 5

∴ 5 ÷ 5 = 1

∴ 5 is a prime factor of 240

∴ The prime factors of 240 are 2^{4} , 3 , 5

The prime factorization of 240 is 2^{4} . 3 . 5
