Abstract: This paper considers the general question of when a topological action of a countable group can be factored into a direct product of a nontrivial actions. In the early 1980's D. Lind considered such questions for $mathbbZ$-shifts of finite type. We study in particular direct factorizations of subshifts of finite type over $mathbb{Z}^d$ and other groups, and $mathbbZ$-subshifts which are not of finite type. The main results concern direct factors of the multidimensional full $n$-shift, the multidimensional $3$-colored chessboard and the Dyck shift over a prime alphabet. A direct factorization of an expansive $mathbbG$-action must be finite, but a example is provided of a non-expansive $mathbbZ$-action for which there is no finite direct prime factorization. The question about existence of direct prime factorization of expansive actions remains open, even for $mathbbG=mathbbZ$.
