Steps to find Prime Factors of 7182 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 7182 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 7182 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 7182, which is 2. Divide 7182 by 2 to obtain the quotient (3591).
    7182 ÷ 2 = 3591
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (3591).
    3591 ÷ 3 = 1197
    1197 ÷ 3 = 399
    399 ÷ 3 = 133
    133 ÷ 7 = 19
    19 ÷ 19 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 7182 is, 7182 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 19.

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 7182 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 7182 is, 7182 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 19.

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 7182 are 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 19.

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 7182 but not a prime factor of 7182.
