All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.
Example: 210
210 Divide by two.
105,2 Divide by three.
35,3,2 Divide by five.
7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
That's the prime factorization of 210.
3 could be a prime factor but it depends on which number you're trying to find the prime factors of.
Suppose you have a number N and you want to find its largest prime factor. It is probably easiest to start at the bottom.Find the smallest prime factor, p.Find its factor pair = N/p.If the second number (= N/p) is a prime, then it is the largest prime factor.if not, replace N by N/p and go back to the top.
73 is a prime number. A prime number has only two factors, one and the number itself.
If completed correctly, the bottom branch of a factor tree will be the prime factorization of the number at the top.
In the prime factorisation of the number, each factor must appear an even number of times.In the prime factorisation of the number, each factor must appear an even number of times.In the prime factorisation of the number, each factor must appear an even number of times.In the prime factorisation of the number, each factor must appear an even number of times.
Whatever you use, 59 is a prime number. Its only prime factor is itself.
3 could be a prime factor but it depends on which number you're trying to find the prime factors of.
Suppose you have a number N and you want to find its largest prime factor. It is probably easiest to start at the bottom.Find the smallest prime factor, p.Find its factor pair = N/p.If the second number (= N/p) is a prime, then it is the largest prime factor.if not, replace N by N/p and go back to the top.
A factor can or cannot be a prime number Ex: 2 is the factor of all other even numbers its a prime number but 9 is a factor of 18 and its not a prime number A prime is a factor but a factor being a prime number varies

73 is a prime number. A prime number has only two factors, one and the number itself.
Find the prime factorization. Identify the distinct prime factors. Add them up.
13 is a prime number. A prime number only has two factors: one and itself.
Find the prime factors for 99. Any other prime number is not a prime factor. There are an infinite number of answers, since the set of prime numbers if infinite.
