Prime Factors of 145152

Steps to find Prime Factors of 145152 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 145152 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 145152 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 145152, which is 2. Divide 145152 by 2 to obtain the quotient (72576).
  145152 ÷ 2 = 72576
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (72576).
  72576 ÷ 2 = 36288
  36288 ÷ 2 = 18144
  18144 ÷ 2 = 9072
  9072 ÷ 2 = 4536
  4536 ÷ 2 = 2268
  2268 ÷ 2 = 1134
  1134 ÷ 2 = 567
  567 ÷ 3 = 189
  189 ÷ 3 = 63
  63 ÷ 3 = 21
  21 ÷ 3 = 7
  7 ÷ 7 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 145152 is, 145152 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7.

So, the prime factorization of 145152 is, 145152 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7.

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 145152 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7.

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 145152 but not a prime factor of 145152.
