Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

Multiplying prime numbers to get the given number as their product is called prime factors. A number when it is simplified using the factors of that number and is expressed in the form of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number.


Prime Factors of 329: Number 329 has only two prime factors.


Prime factors of 329 are 7and 47.


To find the prime factors of 329, we can divide 329 with the prime numbers like 7 and 47 from the list of factors of 329.


Step 1: 329 is to be divided with a prime number. 329 ÷ 7 = 47.

 

Step 2: The product obtained i.e., 47 also should be divided with a prime number.47 ÷ 47 =1


Prime Factorization of 329: The simplification of 329 using the prime factors of 329 from the factors 329 has.
Expressed as 7 × 47
