Prime factors of 240000: 2, 3, and 5.
Prime factorization of 240000: 27 × 3 × 54.
Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:
To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 240000. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 240000 is the multiplication method.
Step 1: Multiply 240000 by 1, 240000 × 1 = 240000.
Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 240000 after multiplying
2 × 120000 = 240000
3 × 80000 = 240000
4 × 60000 = 240000
5 × 48000 = 240000
6 × 40000 = 240000
8 × 30000 = 240000
10 × 24000 = 240000
Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 240000 include: (1, 240000), (2, 120000), (3, 80000), (4, 60000), (5, 48000), (6, 40000), (8, 30000), (10, 24000), etc. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.
Dividing the given number with whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method:
Step 1: Divide 240000 by 1, 240000 ÷ 1 = 240000.
Step 2: Continue dividing 240000 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.
240000 ÷ 1 = 240000
240000 ÷ 2 = 120000
240000 ÷ 3 = 80000
240000 ÷ 4 = 60000
240000 ÷ 5 = 48000
Therefore, the factors of 240000 include numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, etc.
The factors can be found by dividing a number with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:
Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 240000 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.
240000 ÷ 2 = 120000
120000 ÷ 2 = 60000
60000 ÷ 2 = 30000
30000 ÷ 2 = 15000
15000 ÷ 2 = 7500
7500 ÷ 2 = 3750
3750 ÷ 2 = 1875
1875 ÷ 3 = 625
625 ÷ 5 = 125
125 ÷ 5 = 25
25 ÷ 5 = 5
5 ÷ 5 = 1
The prime factors of 240000 are 2, 3, and 5. The prime factorization of 240000 is: 27 × 3 × 54
The factor tree is a graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show:
Step 1: Firstly, 240000 is divided by 2 to get 120000.
Step 2: Now divide 120000 by 2 to get 60000.
Step 3: Then divide 60000 by 2 to get 30000.
Step 4: Continue dividing by 2 until you reach 1875, then divide by 3 to get 625.
Step 5: Divide 625 by 5 repeatedly until you cannot divide anymore. Here, 5 is the smallest prime number, that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 240000 is: 27 × 3 × 5^4.
