Prime Factors of 1246

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1246 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1246 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 1246 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 1246, which is 2. Divide 1246 by 2 to obtain the quotient (623).
  1246 ÷ 2 = 623
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (623).
  623 ÷ 7 = 89
  89 ÷ 89 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1246 is, 1246 = 2 x 7 x 89.

Introduction to Prime Factors?

In mathematics, prime numbers are defined as all those natural numbers greater than 1 that has only two divisors one being number 1 and the other being the number itself. When we express any number as the products of these prime numbers than these prime numbers become prime factors of that number. Eg- Prime Factors of 1246 are 2 x 7 x 89.

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 1246 but not a prime factor of 1246.
