Prime Factors of 27648

Steps to find Prime Factors of 27648 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 27648 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 27648 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 27648, which is 2. Divide 27648 by 2 to obtain the quotient (13824).
  27648 ÷ 2 = 13824
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (13824).
  13824 ÷ 2 = 6912
  6912 ÷ 2 = 3456
  3456 ÷ 2 = 1728
  1728 ÷ 2 = 864
  864 ÷ 2 = 432
  432 ÷ 2 = 216
  216 ÷ 2 = 108
  108 ÷ 2 = 54
  54 ÷ 2 = 27
  27 ÷ 3 = 9
  9 ÷ 3 = 3
  3 ÷ 3 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 27648 is, 27648 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3.

So, the prime factorization of 27648 is, 27648 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3.

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 27648 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3.

Properties of Prime Factors

• For any given number there is one and only one set of unique prime factors.
• Any number can have only 1 even prime factor and that is number 2.
• Two prime factors are always coprime to each other.
• 1 is the factor of any given number, but 1 is neither a prime number nor a composite number. So, 1 is the factor of 27648 but not a prime factor of 27648.
