How do you find the prime factorization of 561?
Work your way through the prime number posibilities. It's odd so there are no even factors. Add all the digits together (to get 12) and the result has a factor of 3 so 561 has a factor 3. Divide by that factor 3 to get 187. Try again for another factor 3 and there isn't one. The number 187 doesn't end in 5 (or 0) so 5 is not a factor. 7 doesn't divide exactly. 9 doesn't divide exactly. 11 does, so it is a factor. Divide by 11 to get 17 which is a prime number, so that's the finish. The factorization is 3x11x17
