The process of prime factorisation is one of repeated division by primes, while obtaining a quotient without a remainder, until the process yields a quotient of 1 3024 ÷ 2 = 1512 ................................. 2 is a prime factor of 3024
1512 ÷ 2 = 756 ................................... 2 is a prime factor of 3024
756 ÷ 2 = 378 ..................................... 2 is a prime factor of 3024
378 ÷ 2 = 189 ..................................... 2 is a prime factor of 3024
189 is not divisible by 2
189 ÷ 3 = 63 ....................................... 3 is a prime factor of 3024
63 ÷ 3 = 21 ......................................... 3 is a prime factor of 3024
21 ÷ 3 = 7 ........................................... 3 is a prime factor of 3024
7 is not divisible by 3
7 ÷ 7 = 1 ............................................. 7 is a prime factor of 3024
So the prime factors of 3024 are 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3 and 7
