Steps to find Prime Factors of 11475 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 11475 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 11475 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 11475, which is 3. Divide 11475 by 3 to obtain the quotient (3825).
    11475 ÷ 3 = 3825
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (3825).
    3825 ÷ 3 = 1275
    1275 ÷ 3 = 425
    425 ÷ 5 = 85
    85 ÷ 5 = 17
    17 ÷ 17 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 11475 is, 11475 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 17.

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 11475 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 11475 is, 11475 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 17.

Definition of Prime Factors?

In mathematics, prime numbers are defined as all those whole numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors, i.e. 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 11475 are 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 17.

Properties of Prime Factors

  • For any given number there is one and only one set of unique prime factors.
  • 2 is the only even prime number. So, any given number can have only one even prime factor and that is 2.
  • Two prime factors of a given number 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 11475 but not a prime factor of 11475.
