Prime Factors of 74088

Steps to find Prime Factors of 74088 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 74088 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 74088 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 74088, which is 2. Divide 74088 by 2 to obtain the quotient (37044).
  74088 ÷ 2 = 37044
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (37044).
  37044 ÷ 2 = 18522
  18522 ÷ 2 = 9261
  9261 ÷ 3 = 3087
  3087 ÷ 3 = 1029
  1029 ÷ 3 = 343
  343 ÷ 7 = 49
  49 ÷ 7 = 7
  7 ÷ 7 = 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 74088 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 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 74088 but not a prime factor of 74088.
