To find the prime factorization of a number, it helps to divide it by any obvious factors. In this case, 156 is even so we can divide by 2. Do this and we get 78, which is also even. Divide by 2 again and we get 39, which is divisible by 3. Do that and we get 13 which is prime. Thus the prime factorization of 156 is 2x2x3x13. If we want to use exponents this can be written as 22x3x13

The prime factorization of 156 is 2^2 x 3 x 13. This means that 156 can be expressed as the product of these prime numbers. To find the prime factorization, you would first divide 156 by the smallest prime number, 2, then continue dividing by prime numbers until you reach the prime factorization.
Factors of 156: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, and 156 Prime Factorization of 156: 2 x 2 x 3 x 13
156 = 2 * 78 = 2 * 2 * 39 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 13
312 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a prime number.The 16 factors of 312 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, 156, and 312.The proper factors of 312 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, and 156 or,if the definition you are using excludes 1, they are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 24, 26, 39, 52, 78, 104, and 156.The prime factors of 312 are 2, 2, 2, 3, and 13. Note: There is repetition of these factors, so if the prime factors are being listed instead of the prime factorization, usually only the distinct prime factors are listed.The 3 distinct prime factors (listing each prime factor only once) of 312 are 2, 3, and 13.The prime factorization of 312 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 or, in index form (in other words, using exponents), 23 x 3 x 13.NOTE: There cannot be common factors, a greatest common factor, or a least common multiple because "common" refers to factors or multiples that two or more numbers have in common.
156 = 2 * 2 * 3 *13
