Prime Factors of 12393

Steps to find Prime Factors of 12393 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 12393 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 12393 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 12393, which is 3. Divide 12393 by 3 to obtain the quotient (4131).
  12393 ÷ 3 = 4131
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (4131).
  4131 ÷ 3 = 1377
  1377 ÷ 3 = 459
  459 ÷ 3 = 153
  153 ÷ 3 = 51
  51 ÷ 3 = 17
  17 ÷ 17 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 12393 is, 12393 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 17.

What does Prime factor in mathematics mean?

Prime numbers, in mathematics are all those whole numbers greater than 1 having exactly two divisors that is 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 12393 are 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 17.

Properties of Prime Factors

• Prime factors are the set of factors that are unique to the number given.
• 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 12393 but not a prime factor of 12393.
