Steps to find Prime Factors of 366 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 366 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 366 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 366, which is 2. Divide 366 by 2 to obtain the quotient (183).
    366 ÷ 2 = 183
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (183).
    183 ÷ 3 = 61
    61 ÷ 61 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 366 is, 366 = 2 x 3 x 61.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 366 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 366 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 366 is, 366 = 2 x 3 x 61.

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 366 are 2 x 3 x 61.

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 366 but not a prime factor of 366.
