Introduction to Prime Factors?

In mathematics, prime numbers are defined as all those natural numbers greater than 1 that has only two divisors one being number 1 and the other being the number itself. When we express any number as the products of these prime numbers than these prime numbers become prime factors of that number. Eg- Prime Factors of 298116 are 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 13 x 13.

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 298116 but not a prime factor of 298116.
