Steps to find Prime Factors of 474552 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 474552 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 474552 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 474552, which is 2. Divide 474552 by 2 to obtain the quotient (237276).
    474552 ÷ 2 = 237276
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (237276).
    237276 ÷ 2 = 118638
    118638 ÷ 2 = 59319
    59319 ÷ 3 = 19773
    19773 ÷ 3 = 6591
    6591 ÷ 3 = 2197
    2197 ÷ 13 = 169
    169 ÷ 13 = 13
    13 ÷ 13 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 474552 is, 474552 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 13 x 13.

So, the prime factorization of 474552 is, 474552 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 13 x 13.

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 474552 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 13 x 13.

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 474552 but not a prime factor of 474552.
