Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
  • Using factor tree

 

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 999999 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

999999 ÷ 3 = 333333

333333 ÷ 3 = 111111

111111 ÷ 3 = 37037

37037 ÷ 37 = 1001

1001 ÷ 7 = 143

143 ÷ 11 = 13

13 ÷ 13 = 1

 

The prime factors of 999999 are 3, 37, and 3331. The prime factorization of 999999 is: (33 x 37 x 3331).

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows:

 

Step 1: Firstly, 999999 is divided by 3 to get 333333.

 

Step 2: Now divide 333333 by 3 to get 111111.

 

Step 3: Then divide 111111 by 3 to get 37037.

 

Step 4: Divide 37037 by 37 to get 1001.

 

Step 5: Divide 1001 by 7 to get 143.

 

Step 6: Divide 143 by 11 to get 13. So, the prime factorization of 999999 is: (33 x 37 x 3331).
