<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n 1 is a number that is neither composite nor non-composite (prime).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The factors can be written in pairs as well. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It is easy to find factors of a number. 48 is a composite number and has more than two factors. We can start from 1 and count the numbers that completely divide 48 till the number 48. We will find all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n This is a time-consuming and impractical process and thus, to make things easier we use the methods listed below to find the factors easily.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Prime factorisation means breaking down a composite number as a product of its prime factors only. Prime factors are the factors that are essentially prime numbers. The two methods to find the prime factors are<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Prime factorization using the factor tree method:<\/b><\/p>\n Under this method, we break the number and keep on breaking them until only prime numbers are left. The number 48 will be the root of the tree and the factors will be its branches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n So, 48 = 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2<\/span><\/p>\n or, <\/span>2<\/span>4 <\/span>x 3 = 48.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Long division method<\/b><\/p>\n Under this method, we use the smallest prime number that divides the number and we keep on dividing it in the table till the last quotient found is 1.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The answer remains the same with both the methods. We get <\/span>2<\/span>4 <\/span>x 3 = 48 here as well.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ module_id=”stickysideR” admin_label=”Column R” _builder_version=”4.10.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#fdefe0″ custom_padding=”25px|25px|25px|25px|true|true” sticky_position=”top” sticky_offset_top=”-280px” sticky_limit_top=”row” sticky_limit_bottom=”row” sticky_position_tablet=”none” sticky_position_phone=”none” sticky_position_last_edited=”on|desktop” sticky_limit_bottom_tablet=”” sticky_limit_bottom_phone=”” sticky_limit_bottom_last_edited=”on|phone” border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/eistudymaterial.s3.amazonaws.com\/1080×1080.png” alt=”Free Trial banner” title_text=”Mindspark Free Trial Banner” url=”https:\/\/mindspark.in\/free-trial” align=”center” module_class=”adsimg” _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}” transform_styles__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_scale__hover=”102%|102%”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Explore Other Topics [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”2.2em” link_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”10px|15px|10px|28px|true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Related Concepts [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.13.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”2.2em” link_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”10px|15px|10px|28px|true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row for space” _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.11″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.10.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”banner and faq Section” module_class=”mainsec2″ _builder_version=”4.10.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”40px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” disabled_on=”on|on|off” admin_label=”banner Row” _builder_version=”4.10.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#fff7d6″ width=”100%” max_width=”1310px” height=”134px” custom_margin=”||50px||false|false” custom_padding=”12px||12px||true|false” border_radii=”on|11px|11px|11px|11px” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/stgwebsite.mindspark.in\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/calloutImage.png” title_text=”calloutImage” show_bottom_space=”off” admin_label=”Image” module_class=”img1″ _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”25px” height=”60px” custom_padding=”2px||2px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”ftstyle” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/eistudymaterial.s3.amazonaws.com\/Factors-of-48-01-300x56.png\")
