Step-by-Step Worked Example

Scenario: Find prime factors of 72.

  1. 72 / 2 = 36.
  2. 36 / 2 = 18.
  3. 18 / 2 = 9.
  4. 9 / 3 = 3.
  5. 3 / 3 = 1 -> 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 2^3 * 3^2.

Result: 2^3 * 3^2

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an abundant number?

An abundant number is an integer whose sum of proper factors exceeds the number itself (e.g. 72 has factor sum 123 > 72).
