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 1657 are 1657.

Properties of Prime Factors

  • Prime factors are the set of factors that are unique to the number given.
  • 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 1657 but not a prime factor of 1657.
