The first prime number is 2, but 2 doesn't divide into 1225 evenly (no remainder).

The next prime number is 3, but 3 doesn't divide into1225 evenly either.

The next prime number is 5 and it does divide into 1225 evenly:

     1225 ÷ 5 =  245

       245 ÷ 5 = 49

But 49 = 7 x 7; so all the factors of 1225 are 5 (twice) and 7 (twice).

      1225 = 5 x 5 x 7 x 7
