Steps to find Prime Factors of 1124 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1124 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 1124 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 1124, which is 2. Divide 1124 by 2 to obtain the quotient (562).
    1124 ÷ 2 = 562
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (562).
    562 ÷ 2 = 281
    281 ÷ 281 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1124 is, 1124 = 2 x 2 x 281.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1124 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 1124 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 1124 is, 1124 = 2 x 2 x 281.

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 1124 are 2 x 2 x 281.

Properties of Prime Factors

  • For any given number there is one and only one set of unique prime factors.
  • Any number can have only 1 even prime factor and that is number 2.
  • Two prime factors are always coprime to each other.
  • 1 is the factor of any given number, but 1 is neither a prime number nor a composite number. So, 1 is the factor of 1124 but not a prime factor of 1124.
