<p>To determine whether a number is prime or not, we use the divisibility method to check. If a number is divisible by 2, 3, or 5, then it is not a prime number. Prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and themselves, so if a number is divisible by only the number itself and 1, it is a prime number.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>3000 ÷ 2 = 1500 </p>
12
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>3000 ÷ 2 = 1500 </p>
13
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now, divide 1500,</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now, divide 1500,</p>
14
<p>1500 ÷ 2 = 750 </p>
14
<p>1500 ÷ 2 = 750 </p>
15
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now take 750,</p>
15
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now take 750,</p>
16
<p>750 ÷ 2 = 375 </p>
16
<p>750 ÷ 2 = 375 </p>
17
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Take 375, since 375 ends in 5, divide the number with 5</p>
17
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Take 375, since 375 ends in 5, divide the number with 5</p>
18
<p>375 ÷ 5 = 75 </p>
18
<p>375 ÷ 5 = 75 </p>
19
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Take 75, since 75 ends in 5, divide the number with 5</p>
19
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Take 75, since 75 ends in 5, divide the number with 5</p>
20
<p>75 ÷ 5 = 15 </p>
20
<p>75 ÷ 5 = 15 </p>
21
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Take 15, 15 ÷ 5 = 3 </p>
21
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Take 15, 15 ÷ 5 = 3 </p>
22
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>At last, take 3.</p>
22
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>At last, take 3.</p>
23
<p>3 ÷ 3 = 1 (since 3 is a prime number, and dividing by 3 gives 1)</p>
23
<p>3 ÷ 3 = 1 (since 3 is a prime number, and dividing by 3 gives 1)</p>
24
<p>Therefore, the prime factorization of 3000 is: 3000 = 23 × 3 × 53.</p>

<p>Therefore, the prime factorization of 3000 is: 3000 = 23 × 3 × 53.</p>
