Prime Factorization
"Prime Factorization" is finding

which prime numbers multiply
together to make the original
number.
Prime
A Prime Number is a whole number above 1 that cannot
be made by multiplying other whole numbers.
When it can be made by multiplying other whole
numbers it is a Composite Number.
Examples: 3, 5, 7, 11, 13,

17, 19…..
composit
e numbers that have more
Composite numbers are whole
than two factors. In other words, a composite number is
divisible by the number itself, the number 1 and at least
one other number.
Examples: 4, 6, 8, 10,
9, 12, 14, 15….
Factors
"Factors" are the
numbers you multiply
together to get
another number.
Did you know?
A factor of a number
divides the number
evenly, with no
remainder.
Example #1
What are all the factors of
the number 8?
First, think about all of the numbers
you multiply to get 8.
2x4=8 1x8=8
Example #2
What are all the factors of
the number 36?
again, think about all of the numbers
you multiply to get 8.
6 x 6 = 36 1 x 36 = 36 2 x 18 = 36
FACTORIZATION
METHODS
e s
p l
m Do the prime factorization of 48 using
x a
e the factor tree
48 = 8 × 6, so we write down "8"
and "6" below 48
Now we continue and factor 8 into 4
×2
Then 4 into 2 × 2
And lastly 6 into 3 × 2
We can't factor anymore, so we have
found the prime factors.
Which reveals that 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 ×
2×3
48 = 24 × 3
Prime Factorization by Division Method / Ladder method
The division method can also be used to find the prime
factors of a large number by dividing the number by prime
numbers. Let us learn how to find the prime factors of a
number by the division method using the following example.
Example: Do the prime factorization of 60 with the division
method.
·Step 1: Divide the number by the smallest prime number
such that the smallest prime number should divide the
number completely. Here we divide 60 by 2 to get 30.
·Step 2: Again, divide the quotient of step 1 by the smallest
prime number. So, 30 is again divided by 2 and we get 15.
·Step 3: Repeat step 2, until the quotient becomes 1. Now, 15
is not divisible by 2, so we take the next prime number which
is 3. And 15 ÷ 3 = 5. Then we divide 5 ÷ 5 = 1. Since we get
1 as the quotient, we stop here.
·Step 4: Finally, multiply all the prime factors that are the
divisors. Prime factorization of 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
Example: What are the prime factors of 12?
It is best to start working from the smallest prime
number, which is 2, so let's check:
12 ÷ 2 = 6
Yes, it divided exactly by 2. We have taken the first
step!
But 6 is not a prime number, so we need to go further.
Let's try 2 again:
6÷2=3
Yes, that worked also. And 3 is a prime number, so we
have the answer:
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
As you can see, every factor is a prime number, so the
answer is right.
Another Method
We just did factorization by starting at the
smallest prime and working upwards.
But sometimes it is easier to break a number
down into any factors we can ... then work those
factors down to primes.
Example: What are the prime factors of 90?
Break 90 into 9 × 10
• The prime factors of 9 are 3 and 3
• The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5
So, the prime factors of 90 are 3, 3, 2 and 5
90 = 2 × 32 × 5
