The prime factors of 48 are 2, 2, 2, 2, and 3.

The prime factorization of 48 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, which can also be written as 2^4 x 3.

To find the prime factors of a number, start with any two factors and keep factoring until all the factors are prime. For 48, you could start with 6 X 8:

6 X 8

2X3 X 2X4

2X3 X 2X2X2

The prime factors of 48 are 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 3
