Your Input

Find the prime factorization of $$$4554$$$.

Solution

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

Determine whether $$$4554$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$4554$$$ by $$${\color{green}2}$$$: $$$\frac{4554}{2} = {\color{red}2277}$$$.

Determine whether $$$2277$$$ is divisible by $$$2$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$3$$$.

Determine whether $$$2277$$$ is divisible by $$$3$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$2277$$$ by $$${\color{green}3}$$$: $$$\frac{2277}{3} = {\color{red}759}$$$.

Determine whether $$$759$$$ is divisible by $$$3$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$759$$$ by $$${\color{green}3}$$$: $$$\frac{759}{3} = {\color{red}253}$$$.

Determine whether $$$253$$$ is divisible by $$$3$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$5$$$.

Determine whether $$$253$$$ is divisible by $$$5$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$7$$$.

Determine whether $$$253$$$ is divisible by $$$7$$$.

Since it is not divisible, move to the next prime number.

The next prime number is $$$11$$$.

Determine whether $$$253$$$ is divisible by $$$11$$$.

It is divisible, thus, divide $$$253$$$ by $$${\color{green}11}$$$: $$$\frac{253}{11} = {\color{red}23}$$$.

The prime number $$${\color{green}23}$$$ has no other factors then $$$1$$$ and $$${\color{green}23}$$$: $$$\frac{23}{23} = {\color{red}1}$$$.

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: $$$4554 = 2 \cdot 3^{2} \cdot 11 \cdot 23$$$.

Answer

The prime factorization is $$$4554 = 2 \cdot 3^{2} \cdot 11 \cdot 23$$$A.
