So, the prime factorization of 63504 is, 63504 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7.

What does Prime factor of a number mean?

A prime number in mathematics is defined as any natural number greater than 1, that is not divisible by any number except 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 63504 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7.

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 63504 but not a prime factor of 63504.
