Steps to find Prime Factors of 326592 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 326592 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 326592 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 326592, which is 2. Divide 326592 by 2 to obtain the quotient (163296).
    326592 ÷ 2 = 163296
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (163296).
    163296 ÷ 2 = 81648
    81648 ÷ 2 = 40824
    40824 ÷ 2 = 20412
    20412 ÷ 2 = 10206
    10206 ÷ 2 = 5103
    5103 ÷ 3 = 1701
    1701 ÷ 3 = 567
    567 ÷ 3 = 189
    189 ÷ 3 = 63
    63 ÷ 3 = 21
    21 ÷ 3 = 7
    7 ÷ 7 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 326592 is, 326592 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 326592 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 326592 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 326592 is, 326592 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7.

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 326592 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7.

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 326592 but not a prime factor of 326592.
