Steps to find Prime Factors of 1054 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1054 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 1054 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 1054, which is 2. Divide 1054 by 2 to obtain the quotient (527).
    1054 ÷ 2 = 527
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (527).
    527 ÷ 17 = 31
    31 ÷ 31 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1054 is, 1054 = 2 x 17 x 31.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1054 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 1054 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 1054 is, 1054 = 2 x 17 x 31.

What does Prime factor of a number mean?

A prime number in mathematics is defined as any natural number greater than 1, that is not divisible by any number except 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 1054 are 2 x 17 x 31.

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 1054 but not a prime factor of 1054.
