Steps to find Prime Factors of 8775 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 8775 using the division method, follow these steps:

  • Step 1. Start dividing 8775 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 8775, which is 3. Divide 8775 by 3 to obtain the quotient (2925).
    8775 ÷ 3 = 2925
  • Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (2925).
    2925 ÷ 3 = 975
    975 ÷ 3 = 325
    325 ÷ 5 = 65
    65 ÷ 5 = 13
    13 ÷ 13 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 8775 is, 8775 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 13.

Steps to find Prime Factors of 8775 by Factor Tree Method

We can follow the same procedure using the factor tree of 8775 as shown below:

So, the prime factorization of 8775 is, 8775 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 13.

Definition of Prime Factors?

In mathematics, prime numbers are defined as all those whole numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors, i.e. 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 8775 are 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 13.

Properties of Prime Factors

  • For any given number there is one and only one set of unique prime factors.
  • 2 is the only even prime number. So, any given number can have only one even prime factor and that is 2.
  • Two prime factors of a given number 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 8775 but not a prime factor of 8775.
