For example, the prime factorization of 20 is 2 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00d7 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00d7 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Here the distinct prime factors of 20 are 2 and 5.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us recap our basics about the factors of a number.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What are the factors of any number?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any number can be a factor of a number if it divides the number without leaving any remainder behind i.e., the remainder is zero. For example, 2 is a factor of 8, 7 is a factor of 42, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2>What are the prime factors of any number?<\/h2>\n<p>Prime numbers are those numbers that do not have factors other than 1 and itself. Factors of a number that are prime themselves are prime factors.<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/><\/b>For example, the factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20. Here, 2 and 5 are prime numbers. Hence they are prime factors of 20.<b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to determine Prime Factors of any number?<\/h2>\n<p>We divide the number by prime numbers in this method. In this method, we will continue division with the quotient if it\u2019s a composite number till it doesn\u2019t leave a remainder. The prime factors can be obtained by two methods which are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1)<\/strong> Division Method<\/p>\n<p><b>(2)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Factor Tree Method<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Prime Factorization by Division Method<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We divide the number by the smallest prime number which doesn\u2019t leave a remainder. The quotient obtained is divided repeatedly by the smallest prime number until the last quotient obtained is 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let us factorize the number 12.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Divide 12 by the prime number 2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 \u00f7 2 = 6, and continue similarly<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 \u00f7 2 = 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 \u00f7 3 = 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hence the prime factorization of 12 is 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00d7<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00d7<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2.

What are the Factors of any number?<br \/><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ans: <\/strong>Any number can be a factor of a number if it divides the number without leaving any remainder behind i.e., the remainder is zero. For example, 12 is a factor of 84. <\/span><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><b><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><b>2. What are the Prime Factors of any number?<br \/><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans: <\/strong>Prime factors of any number are those factors that are prime. For example, the factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 here, the prime factor of 16 is 2.<strong><br \/><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. What are distinct prime factors?<br \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The distinct prime factors of a number are the various primes that occur in the factorization of that number. For example, the prime factorization of 15 is 5 \u00d7 3.
