Steps to find Prime Factors of 39204 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 39204 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 39204 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 39204, which is 2. Divide 39204 by 2 to obtain the quotient (19602).
    39204 ÷ 2 = 19602
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (19602).
    19602 ÷ 2 = 9801
    9801 ÷ 3 = 3267
    3267 ÷ 3 = 1089
    1089 ÷ 3 = 363
    363 ÷ 3 = 121
    121 ÷ 11 = 11
    11 ÷ 11 = 1

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 39204 are 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 11.

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 39204 but not a prime factor of 39204.
