Steps to find Prime Factors of 4446 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 4446 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 4446 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 4446, which is 2. Divide 4446 by 2 to obtain the quotient (2223).
    4446 ÷ 2 = 2223
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (2223).
    2223 ÷ 3 = 741
    741 ÷ 3 = 247
    247 ÷ 13 = 19
    19 ÷ 19 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 4446 is, 4446 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 19.

So, the prime factorization of 4446 is, 4446 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 19.

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 4446 are 2 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 19.

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 4446 but not a prime factor of 4446.
