You divide by prime numbers until you get to 1, and then the numbers you divided by are the prime factors.
eg: 660
It's even so I divide by 2 and get 330
That's even so I divide by 2 and get 165
That ends in 5 so I divide by 5 and get 33
I know that divides by 11 so I divide it by 11 and get 3
Divide that by 3 and get 1.
I divided by 2,2,5,11 and 3, so those are the prime factors of 660.

What is the prime numbers for 374?
To find the prime factors of any number then divide the number by prime numbers of increasing value. When a prime number wholly divides the original number repeat the process with the same prime number but each time with the new quotient until complete division does not occur. Repeat with a prime number of higher value until the final quotient is 1. Using this process gives the prime factors of 374 as 2, 11 and 17.
