Prime factors are multiplying numbers that cannot be divided into smaller numbers.
Let's break down 92.
Divide 92 by 2.
2 x 46.
We can still break this down.
Divide 46 by 2.
2 x 2 x 23.
This is your prime factorization of 92.
I hope this helps!

92 is not a prime number and that's why this is really easy...

The answer is 2^2 × 23
You ask how
92 could be broken down in 46 by dividing it by 2 and if we divide it from 2 again we will get 23.

If you want to check you can try like this...

2^2 × 23
2^2 is 4
and 4 × 23 = 92

Did you get it I hope it helped
