• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (26244).
  26244 ÷ 2 = 13122
  13122 ÷ 2 = 6561
  6561 ÷ 3 = 2187
  2187 ÷ 3 = 729
  729 ÷ 3 = 243
  243 ÷ 3 = 81
  81 ÷ 3 = 27
  27 ÷ 3 = 9
  9 ÷ 3 = 3
  3 ÷ 3 = 1

What does Prime factor in mathematics mean?

Prime numbers, in mathematics are all those whole numbers greater than 1 having exactly two divisors that is 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 52488 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3.

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 52488 but not a prime factor of 52488.
