Steps to find Prime Factors of 1484 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1484 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 1484 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 1484, which is 2. Divide 1484 by 2 to obtain the quotient (742).
    1484 ÷ 2 = 742
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (742).
    742 ÷ 2 = 371
    371 ÷ 7 = 53
    53 ÷ 53 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1484 is, 1484 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 53.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1484 by Factor Tree Method

So, the prime factorization of 1484 is, 1484 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 53.

What does Prime factor of a number mean?

A prime number in mathematics is defined as any natural number greater than 1, that is not divisible by any number except 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 1484 are 2 x 2 x 7 x 53.

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 1484 but not a prime factor of 1484.
