Find the prime factorization of number 2048.

Answer

The prime factorization of 2048 is:

$$ 2048 = 2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2 $$

Which is the same as :

$$ 2048 = 2^{11} $$

Prime factorization can be nicely visualized by creating a factorization tree.

2048 can be written as 2 × 1024.	2048 2 1024
1024 can be written as 2 × 512.	2048 2 1024 512 2
512 can be written as 2 × 256.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 2
256 can be written as 2 × 128.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 128 2 2
128 can be written as 2 × 64.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 128 2 64 2 2
64 can be written as 2 × 32.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 128 2 64 32 2 2 2
32 can be written as 2 × 16.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 128 2 64 32 2 16 2 2 2
16 can be written as 2 × 8.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 128 2 64 32 2 16 8 2 2 2 2
8 can be written as 2 × 4.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 128 2 64 32 2 16 8 2 4 2 2 2 2
4 can be written as 2 × 2.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 128 2 64 32 2 16 8 2 4 2 2 2 2 2 2
The end nodes are the prime factors of the number 2048.	2048 2 1024 512 2 256 128 2 64 32 2 16 8 2 4 2 2 2 2 2 2
