Prime Factors of 1965

Steps to find Prime Factors of 1965 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 1965 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 1965 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 1965, which is 3. Divide 1965 by 3 to obtain the quotient (655).
  1965 ÷ 3 = 655
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (655).
  655 ÷ 5 = 131
  131 ÷ 131 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 1965 is, 1965 = 3 x 5 x 131.

So, the prime factorization of 1965 is, 1965 = 3 x 5 x 131.

Definition of Prime Factors?

In mathematics, prime numbers are defined as all those whole numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors, i.e. 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 1965 are 3 x 5 x 131.

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 1965 but not a prime factor of 1965.
