To find the prime factorization of 26, we need to break it down into prime numbers that multiply to give 26.

Start by dividing 26 by the smallest prime number, which is 2. 26 ÷ 2 = 13

Now, 13 is a prime number, so we stop here.

Thus, the prime factorization of 26 is: 2 × 13

So, the prime factorization of 26 is 2 × 13.
