The prime factorization of 34 is:
$$ 34 = 2\cdot17 $$explanation
Prime factorization can be nicely visualized by creating a factorization tree.
34 can be written as 2 × 17. |

The end nodes are the prime factors of the number 34. |
Prime factorization is a process of finding the group of prime numbers such that when multiplied together, they give the original number. For example, the prime factorization of 15 is 5 * 3, because 5 and 3 are both prime numbers that when multiplied together yield 15. This calculator computes prime factorization and factor trees for every integer up to 21474836460000.
Step 1: Start with any number that divides 60; for our example, we will select 10.
Step 2: Write 10 as a product of 2 and 5. $ \color{blue}{10 = 2 \cdot 5} $.
Step 3: Write 6 as a product of 2 and 3. $ 6 = 2 \cdot 3 $.
Step 4: The end nodes are the prime factors of 60.
Example: Find all factors of 54.
Step 1: Begin the list with 1 and end it with 54.
Step 2: Since $ 54 = 2 \cdot 27 $ we put in 2 and 27 into an array.
Step 3: Since $ 54 = 3 \cdot 18 $ so we will put in 3 and 18 into an array.
Step 4:At the end we have $ 54 = 6 \cdot 9 $
Example: Check whether a number 581 is prime or not.
Step 1: Find the square root of 581.
Step 2: Try to divide 581 by all prime numbers less or equal to 25.
In this example we will try to divide 581 with :
2 , 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19
and 23.
$$ \begin{aligned} 581 : 2 & = 290.5 \\ 581 : 3 & = 484 \\ 581 : 5 &= 116.2 \\ 581 : 7 &= 83 \end{aligned} $$
581 is divisible by 3 so is is not prime.
