Steps to find Prime Factors of 1282 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1282 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 1282 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 1282, which is 2. Divide 1282 by 2 to obtain the quotient (641).
    1282 ÷ 2 = 641
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (641).
    641 ÷ 641 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1282 is, 1282 = 2 x 641.

How do you define Prime Factors of a number?

Prime numbers, in mathematics are all those natural numbers greater than 1 that have exactly 2 factors which are 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 1282 are 2 x 641.

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 1282 but not a prime factor of 1282.
