Finding Factors Using Division Method

The division method finds the numbers that fully divide the given number. The steps are given below:


Step 1: Since every number is divisible by 1, 1 will always be a factor. Example: 345 ÷ 1 = 345


Step 2: Move to the next integer. The factors of the number include the divisor and the quotient obtained after division.


Thus, the factors of 345 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 23, 69, 115, and 345
 

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

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


Prime Factors of 345: Number 345 has three prime factors.
Prime factors of 345: 3, 5, 23


To find the prime factors of 345, we can divide 345 by the prime numbers like 3, 5, and 23 from the list of factors of 345.


Step 1: Divide 345 by the prime number 3:
345 ÷ 3 = 115
Step 2: Divide 115 by the prime number 5:
115 ÷ 5 = 23
Step 3: Divide 23 by the prime number 23:
23 ÷ 23 = 1

Problem 1

Can you check whether 15 and 23 are co-prime?

Okay, lets begin

 Yes, 15 and 23 are co-prime 

Explanation

To check whether two numbers are co-prime, list their factors first. Once you have listed the factors, identify the common factors and determine the GCF. If the GCF is 1, then the numbers are co-prime. Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15 Factors of 23: 1, 23 Here, the GCF is 1. So, 15 and 23 are co-prime. For co-prime, the GCF of numbers should be 1.
