Step 1 :First, let's start by finding the smallest prime number that divides 315. We find that it is 3. We divide 315 by 3 to get 105.
Step 2 :Next, we continue the process with the quotient we got. The smallest prime number that divides 105 is 5. We divide 105 by 5 to get 21.
Step 3 :Finally, we continue with the quotient of 21. The smallest prime number that divides 21 is 3. We divide 21 by 3 to get 7, which is itself a prime number. This means we have completed the prime factorization.
