Prime Factors of 1456

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1456 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1456 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 1456 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 1456, which is 2. Divide 1456 by 2 to obtain the quotient (728).
  1456 ÷ 2 = 728
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (728).
  728 ÷ 2 = 364
  364 ÷ 2 = 182
  182 ÷ 2 = 91
  91 ÷ 7 = 13
  13 ÷ 13 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1456 is, 1456 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 13.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1456 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 1456 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 1456 is, 1456 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 13.

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 1456 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 13.

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 1456 but not a prime factor of 1456.
