Prime Numbers 301 to 400

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The natural numbers greater than 1 are called prime numbers. Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and the number itself. Besides math, we use prime numbers in many fields, such as securing digital data, radio frequency identification, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the prime numbers 301 to 400.

Prime Numbers 301 to 400

A prime number is a natural number with no positive factors other than 1 and the number itself. A prime number can only be evenly divisible by 1 and the number itself. Here are some basic properties of prime numbers: 

 

  • Every number greater than 1 is divisible by at least one prime number. 

 

  • Two prime numbers are always relatively prime to each other. 

 

  • Every even positive integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers. 

 

  • Every composite number can be uniquely factored into prime factors. 

 

  • Except for 2, all prime numbers are odd; 2 is the only even prime number.

Prime Numbers 301 to 400 Chart

A prime number chart is a table showing the prime numbers in increasing order. The chart simply includes all the prime numbers within a certain limit for identifying the prime numbers within a range.

 

For kids, it will be less difficult to understand the prime numbers through the chart. The significance of this prime number chart is used in different fields like the foundation of mathematics and the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.

List of All Prime Numbers 301 to 400

The list of all prime numbers from 301 to 400 provides a comprehensive view of numbers in this range that can only be divided by 1 and the number itself. The prime numbers in the range 301 to 400 include 307, 311, 313, 317, 331, 337, 347, 349, 353, 359, 367, 373, 379, 383, 389, and 397.

Prime Numbers - Odd Numbers

Prime numbers and odd numbers are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and the number itself. They cannot be evenly divisible by 2 or other numbers. 2 is the only even prime number, which divides all the non-prime numbers. Therefore, except 2, all prime numbers are considered a set of odd numbers.

How to Identify Prime Numbers 301 to 400

Prime numbers are a set of natural numbers that can only be divided by 1 and the number itself. Here are the two important ways to find whether a number is prime or not.

 

By Divisibility Method:

 

To find whether a number is prime or not, we use the divisibility method to check. If a number is divisible by 2, 3, or 5, then it will result in a non-prime number. Prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and itself, so if a number is divisible by the number itself and 1, it is a prime number.

 

For example: To check whether 311 is a prime number,

 

Step 1: 311 ÷ 2 = 155.5 (remainder ≠ 0)

 

Step 2: 311 ÷ 3 = 103.67 (remainder ≠ 0)

 

Step 3: 311 ÷ 5 = 62.2 (remainder ≠ 0)

 

Since no divisors are found, 311 is a prime number.

 

By Prime Factorization Method:

 

The prime factorization method is the process of breaking down a composite number into the product of its prime factors. The method of prime factorization helps to identify the prime numbers up to 400 by building the smallest blocks of any given number.

 

For example: The prime factorization of 400: Let's break it down into the smallest prime numbers until it can’t divide anymore.

 

Step 1: 400 ÷ 2 = 200

 

Step 2: Now, we divide 200, 200 ÷ 2 = 100

 

Step 3: Now take 100, 100 ÷ 2 = 50

 

Step 4: Take 50, 50 ÷ 2 = 25

 

Step 5: Take 25, 25 ÷ 5 = 5

 

Step 6: At last, take 5. 5 ÷ 5 = 1 (since 5 is a prime number, and dividing by 5 gives 1)

 

Therefore, the prime factorization of 400 is: 400 = 2^4 × 5^2.

Rules for Identifying Prime Numbers 301 to 400

Rule 1: Divisibility Check: Prime numbers are natural numbers that are greater than 1 and have no divisors other than 1 and the number itself. In the divisibility check rule, we check whether the number is divisible by 2, 3, 5, and 7. If it's divisible by these numbers, then it's not a prime number.

 

Rule 2: Prime Factorization: In this prime factorization method, we break down all the numbers into their prime factors, showing them as the product of prime numbers.

 

Rule 3: Sieve of Eratosthenes Method: The method of Sieve of Eratosthenes is an ancient algorithm used to find all prime numbers up to a given limit. First, we list all the numbers from 301 to 400. Then start with the first prime number, 2. Mark all the multiples of 2 as non-prime.

 

Repeat the process for the next unmarked prime number and continue until you reach the square root of 400, approximately 20. The remaining unmarked numbers are the prime numbers.

 

Tips and Tricks for Prime Numbers 301 to 400

 

  • Use common shortcuts to memorize the prime numbers. 307, 311, 313, 317, use these numbers as references.

 

  • Practice using the method of the Sieve of Eratosthenes efficiently. Numbers like 321, 324, 333, 350, 360 are never prime.

 

  • Knowing the common powers of numbers helps in avoiding unnecessary checks.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Prime Numbers 301 to 400

While working with the prime numbers 301 to 400, children might encounter some errors or difficulties. We have many solutions to resolve those problems. Here are some given below:

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Confusing composite numbers with prime numbers.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

A prime number has exactly 2 divisors: 1 and the number itself. Remember that composite numbers have more than 2 divisors. For example: 323 is not a prime number because it has more than 2 divisors.

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Including 1 as a prime number.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Always remember that primes are greater than 1. 1 is not a prime number because it has only one divisor: itself.

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Not efficiently using the prime-checking method.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Practice using the method of the Sieve of Eratosthenes efficiently, or check divisibility by primes up to the square root of the number. For example: while checking the divisibility of 361, stop once you reach √361.

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Not realizing the primes in the larger prime range.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Keep practicing identifying the larger primes, as it helps to sharpen the skills of children. The usage of the method of Sieve of Eratosthenes helps to solve this.

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting that multiples of any prime number are not prime.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Erase all the multiples of known prime numbers as soon as possible. For example: If you're checking numbers up to 400, you don't have to check numbers divisible by 2, 3, 5, or 7 because they are not prime.

Problem 1

Is 373 a prime number?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Yes, 373 is a prime number.

Explanation

The square root of 373 is √373 ≈ 19.31, we check divisibility by primes less than 19.31. (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19).

 

373 ÷ 2 = 186.5

 

373 ÷ 3 = 124.33

 

373 ÷ 5 = 74.6

 

373 ÷ 7 = 53.29

 

373 ÷ 11 = 33.91

 

Since 373 is not divisible by any of these numbers, 373 is a prime number.

Problem 2

Annie is trying to open a digital locker with a 3-digit number. The code is the largest prime number under 400. Which prime number will open the lock?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

397 is the 3-digit code of the digital locker and the largest prime number under 400.

Explanation

Prime numbers are natural numbers that are greater than 1 and have no divisors other than 1 and the number itself. The prime numbers under 400 are 307, 311, 313, and so on. 397 is the largest prime number under 400; therefore, the code to open the digital locker is 397.

Problem 3

A teacher challenges her students: Find the prime numbers that are closest to 350 but less than 350.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

349 is the prime number that is closest to 350.

Explanation

349 is a prime number because it is only divisible by 1 and the number itself. The next prime number after 349 is 353, which is greater than 350. Therefore, the prime number closest to 350 and less than 350 is 349.
