Prime Factor


You can input a number and find the prime factor, factor and factor pair.

Prime Factorization: 2 * 2 * 3

Factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Factor Pairs : (1,12),(2,6),(3,4)

What is Prime Factorization?

prime number icon
  • Prime factorization is the method for finding prime factors of a composite number. There is a theorem that states: Any integer greater than one can be uniquely written as product of prime numbers.

  • Prime factor example

    Let's take 6. It can be written as 2 x 3 which is nothing but the multiplication of two prime numbers.
    find the prime factorization for 124. 124 = 2 * 2 * 31 , Here all the three factors are prime and the prime factorization of 124 is 22 x 31

How to Factorize a number?

  • Step 1:

    As we discussed about integers, we clearly notice that all integers can be written as Multiplication of two numbers. Even we can write prime number in this way.(1 x prime.no).

  • Step 2:

    Lets take a number xy.Try to write in multiplication of two numbers. (i.e) x * y.

  • Step 3:

    Next is to check whether the number x and y can be written as multiplication of two numbers.We need to repeat this step until the number reaches to prime number.

  • Factorization of 36

    Step 1: Express it as multiplication of two number. 36 = 12 x 3
    Step 2: We can write 12 as multiplication of two numbers, 12 = 4 x 3 , 12 = 6 x 2.
    Step 3: 4 and 6 can be written as 2 x 2 and 2 x 3 respectively.
    Now collect the numbers and we can ignore the duplicate numbers. So now the factors of 12 are 2, 3, 4, 6

Factor Tree

  • What is Factor tree?

    Factor tree is an another way of finding the prime factors of a given number. In this method, we split the given number into two branches and again split the numbers in the branches to two numbers. Repeat this process , until the split number is a prime.

  • Factor tree of 36 is 2x2 x 3x3

    First we split 36 into 9 x 4. And in each branch we have composite so our aim is to split all branch element to multiples of prime numbers.So split 9 as 3 x 3 and 4 as 2 x 2 respectively in the branch. Now at the end node all the numbers are prime numbers.So the factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 3 x 3.

Frequently Asked Questions on Prime Factorization

FAQ icon

  • Factorization is the method of breaking the numbers into the factors.
    For example: 36 = 4 x 9

  • Prime factorization is the method of breaking down the numbers to the prime factors. For example: 36 = 22 x 32

  • Every integer greater can be written as multiplication of prime factors.There will be many factors for a number.In that the bigger number is a largest prime factor.

  • For example : Prime factors of 30 is 2 , 3 and 5. In the factors list 5 is the biggest one so 5 is the greatest prime factor of 30.

  • The smallest nunber among all the prime factors of the number is the least / lowest prime factor ?

  • For example : Prime factors of 30 is 2 , 3 and 5. In the factors list 2 is the smallest one so 5 is the lowest prime factor of 30.

  • Factor tree is an another way of finding the prime factors of a given number. In this method we split the given number into two branches and again splits the numbers in the branches to two numbers. Repeat this process , untill the splitten number is a prime.

  • Lets take 30 as an example, 30 can be written as 6 x 5 since 6 is not a prime so split 6 into 2 x 3 .Now all the three factors are prime. And prime factors of 30 are 2 , 3 , and 5.

  • The factors of 144 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 144.

  • Prime Factors of 150 are: 2, 3, 5, 5

  • Factorization of 135 is 5 x 27, which is equal to 5 x 3 x 3 x 3.

  • Prime factorization of 100: 22 x 52

  • Prime Factorization of 147 is 3 x 7 x 7.

  • Factor tree , Long division methods , and Grouping method.

  • prime factorization of 125 is 5 x 5 x 5.
