Prime Factors of 1862

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1862 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1862 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 1862 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 1862, which is 2. Divide 1862 by 2 to obtain the quotient (931).
  1862 ÷ 2 = 931
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (931).
  931 ÷ 7 = 133
  133 ÷ 7 = 19
  19 ÷ 19 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1862 is, 1862 = 2 x 7 x 7 x 19.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1862 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 1862 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 1862 is, 1862 = 2 x 7 x 7 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 1862 are 2 x 7 x 7 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 1862 but not a prime factor of 1862.
