Prime Factors of 50

Steps to find Prime Factors of 50 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 50 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 50 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 50, which is 2. Divide 50 by 2 to obtain the quotient (25).
  50 ÷ 2 = 25
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (25).
  25 ÷ 5 = 5
  5 ÷ 5 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 50 is, 50 = 2 x 5 x 5.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 50 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 50 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 50 is, 50 = 2 x 5 x 5.

Definition of Prime Factors?

In mathematics, prime numbers are defined as all those whole numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors, i.e. 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 50 are 2 x 5 x 5.

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 50 but not a prime factor of 50.
