Steps to find Prime Factors of 3654 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 3654 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 3654 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 3654, which is 2. Divide 3654 by 2 to obtain the quotient (1827).
    3654 ÷ 2 = 1827
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (1827).
    1827 ÷ 3 = 609
    609 ÷ 3 = 203
    203 ÷ 7 = 29
    29 ÷ 29 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 3654 is, 3654 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 29.

So, the prime factorization of 3654 is, 3654 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 29.

What does Prime factor of a number mean?

A prime number in mathematics is defined as any natural number greater than 1, that is not divisible by any number except 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 3654 are 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 29.

Properties of Prime Factors

  • Two prime factors of a given number are always coprime to each other.
  • 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 3654 but not a prime factor of 3654.
