<p>The<a>product</a>of prime<a>factors</a>is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 8640 is broken down into its prime factors:</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Finding the prime factors of 8640 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5, or 2^6 x 3^2 x 5^1</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Finding the prime factors of 8640 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5, or 2^6 x 3^2 x 5^1</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we have found the prime factors of 8640. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 8640 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped in complete pairs.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Begin by grouping the numbers from right to left. For 8640, we group it as 86 and 40.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Begin by grouping the numbers from right to left. For 8640, we group it as 86 and 40.</p>
21
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now find n whose square is closest to 86. We can say n is 9 because 9² = 81 which is<a>less than</a>86. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 9, and after subtracting 81 from 86, the<a>remainder</a>is 5.</p>

22
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Bring down 40 to make the new<a>dividend</a>540. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number 9 + 9 to get 18, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Bring down 40 to make the new<a>dividend</a>540. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number 9 + 9 to get 18, which will be our new divisor.</p>
23
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The next step is finding 18n × n ≤ 540. Let us consider n as 3, now 183 × 3 = 549, which is too large. Thus, n should be 2 because 182 × 2 = 364.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 364 from 540, the difference is 176, and the quotient is 92.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 364 from 540, the difference is 176, and the quotient is 92.</p>
25
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a<a>decimal</a>point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 17600.</p>
