Prime Factors of 9261

Steps to find Prime Factors of 9261 by Division Method

To find the primefactors of 9261 using the division method, follow these steps:

• Step 1. Start dividing 9261 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 9261, which is 3. Divide 9261 by 3 to obtain the quotient (3087).
  9261 ÷ 3 = 3087
• Step 3. Repeat step 1 with the obtained quotient (3087).
  3087 ÷ 3 = 1029
  1029 ÷ 3 = 343
  343 ÷ 7 = 49
  49 ÷ 7 = 7
  7 ÷ 7 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 9261 is, 9261 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7.

So, the prime factorization of 9261 is, 9261 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7.

Introduction to Prime Factors?

In mathematics, prime numbers are defined as all those natural numbers greater than 1 that has only two divisors one being number 1 and the other being the number itself. When we express any number as the products of these prime numbers than these prime numbers become prime factors of that number. Eg- Prime Factors of 9261 are 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 7.

Properties of Prime Factors

• Prime factors are the set of factors that are unique to the number given.
• 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 9261 but not a prime factor of 9261.
