So, the prime factorization of 16302 is, 16302 = 2 x 3 x 11 x 13 x 19.

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 16302 are 2 x 3 x 11 x 13 x 19.

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 16302 but not a prime factor of 16302.
