What is prime factorization?

Prime factorization expresses a number as a product of prime numbers. Every integer greater than 1 has a unique prime factorization (the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic).

For example, 360 = 23 x 32 x 5. No matter how you factor 360, you always end up with three 2s, two 3s, and one 5.

Using the calculator

Enter a positive integer and the calculator shows:

  • Prime factorization with exponents (e.g., 23 x 32 x 5)
  • List of all prime factors including repeats
  • Count of unique primes in the factorization
  • Total prime factors counting multiplicity

Switch to All Factors mode to see every divisor of the number.
