Prime Factors of 5352

Steps to find Prime Factors of 5352 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 5352 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 5352 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 5352, which is 2. Divide 5352 by 2 to obtain the quotient (2676).
  5352 ÷ 2 = 2676
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (2676).
  2676 ÷ 2 = 1338
  1338 ÷ 2 = 669
  669 ÷ 3 = 223
  223 ÷ 223 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 5352 is, 5352 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 223.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 5352 by Factor Tree Method

So, the prime factorization of 5352 is, 5352 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 223.

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 5352 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 223.

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 5352 but not a prime factor of 5352.
