Explanation:

Step1: Check divisibility by small primes

2091 is divisible by 3, since $2+0+9+1=12$, and 12 is divisible by 3.
$\frac{2091}{3}=697$

Step2: Factor 697

Check divisibility of 697: $17 \times 41 = 697$

Step3: Verify prime factors

3, 17, 41 are all prime numbers.

Answer:

$3 \times 17 \times 41$
