# Prime Factorization Of 84

## What is Factors ?

When two or more numbers are multiplied together to give a product, each is called a factor of the product. The product of two or more numbers is said to be a multiple of each of those numbers.

For example 4 x 5 = 20. Here 4 and 5 are factors of 20 and 20 is a multiple of both 4 and 5.

### OR

A number which divides the given number exactly ( without leaving any remainder ) is called a factor  of given number.

### Factor :-

When two or more numbers are multiplied to give a product, each number is called a factor of the product. Here are the first eleven whole numbers and their factors:

Thus, a number (called divisor) is a factor of another number (called dividend) if it divides the dividend exactly, ie there is no remainder left over. Prime Factorization Of 84

For example 3 is a factor of 36, but 3 is not a factor of 43.

## PRIME FACTORIZATION

A prime number has two factors : itself and 1 while a composite number has more than two factors. Prime Factorization Of 84

The multiplication facts of 32 are as follows:

32 = 2x1x16

=2 x 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

= 2x2x2x2 x 2 x1

Usually we do not write the factor 1 as it is understood. Factors of 32 are thus 2, 2, 2, 2 and 2. Since all the 5 numbers are prime numbers these are called the prime factors of 32. We also note that a single prime number is repeated in the prime factorization of 32.  Prime Factorization Of 84

Example : Give the prime factorization of 36.

Start dividing 36 step by step by the prime numbers in order. First of all divide it by 2 as many times as possible. Thus,

36 = 2 x 18

= 2x2x9

= 2x2x3x3

Thus, the prime factors of 36 are 2,2,3,3.

Example : Find the prime factors of 64.

Use repeated division by prime numbers as it is the easiest way to get prime factors.

### Now we calculate the Factors of 84?

Following steps to calculate the factors of a number.

First, write the number 84.  Prime Factorization Of 84

Find the two numbers, which gives the result as 84 under the multiplication,  2 and 42, such as 2 x 42 = 84.

We know that 2 is a prime number which has only two factors, i.e., 1 and the number itself( 1 and 2).

2 =2 x 1

But look at the number 42, which is a natural number but not a prime number. So it can be further factorized

42 = 2 x 3 x7x1

Therefore, the factorization of 84 is written as, 84 = 2×2×3×7x 1

Finally, write down all the unique numbers (i.e.) 2×2×3×7x 1

### Prime Factors Of 84 BY  Using Division Method

First Step :- Divide  the number 84 with the smallest prime factor , say 2.

Second Step :- 84 ÷ 2 = 42

Know again divide 42 by 2

42 ÷ 2 = 21

Third Step :- If we divide 21 by 2 we will get a fractional number ,which cannot be a factor.

Fourth step :- Now proceed with next prime numbers , i;e 21 ÷ 3 = 7 .

Fifth Step :- If we divide 7 by 3 we will get a fractional number , which cannot be a factor. Prime Factorization Of 84

Sixth Step :- Now proceed with next prime numbers,  i;e 7 ÷ 7 = 1

Now we received prime factors of  84  are 2×2×3×7  OR 22×3×7
