Steps to find Prime Factors of 2003 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 2003 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 2003 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 2003, which is 2003. Divide 2003 by 2003 to obtain the quotient (1).
    2003 ÷ 2003 = 1
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (1).

So, the prime factorization of 2003 is, 2003 = 2003.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 2003 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 2003 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 2003 is, 2003 = 2003.

What does Prime factor in mathematics mean?

Prime numbers, in mathematics are all those whole numbers greater than 1 having exactly two divisors that is 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 2003 are 2003.

Properties of Prime Factors

  • For any given number there is one and only one set of unique prime factors.
  • 2 is the only even prime number. So, any given number can have only one even prime factor and that is 2.
  • Two prime factors of a given number 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 2003 but not a prime factor of 2003.
