Prime Factors of 1002

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1002 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1002 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 1002 by the smallest prime number, i.e., 2, 3, 5, and so on. Find the smallest prime factor of the number.
• Step 2. After finding the smallest prime factor of the number 1002, which is 2. Divide 1002 by 2 to obtain the quotient (501).
  1002 ÷ 2 = 501
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (501).
  501 ÷ 3 = 167
  167 ÷ 167 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1002 is, 1002 = 2 x 3 x 167.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1002 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 1002 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 1002 is, 1002 = 2 x 3 x 167.

How do you define Prime Factors of a number?

Prime numbers, in mathematics are all those natural numbers greater than 1 that have exactly 2 factors which are 1 and the number itself. When we express any number as the product of these prime numbers than these prime numbers become prime factors of that number. Eg- Prime Factors of 1002 are 2 x 3 x 167.

Properties of Prime Factors

• Two prime factors of a given number are always coprime to each other.
• 2 is the only even prime factor any number can have.
• Two prime factors are always coprime to each other.
• 1 is neither a prime number nor a composite number and also 1 is the factor of every given number. So, 1 is the factor of 1002 but not a prime factor of 1002.
