First at all , Note:
- prime numbers are all positive integers that can only be evenly divided by 1 and itself. Prime Factors of 6160 are all the prime numbers that when multiplied together equal 6160.
How to find Prime factors of 6160:?
→ The process of finding the Prime Factors of 6160 is called Prime Factorization of 6160.
→ To get the Prime Factors of 6160, you divide 6160 by the smallest prime number .
→ Then you take the result from that and divide that by the smallest prime number. Repeat this process until you end up with..;-
• Prime Factorization process creates what we call the Prime Factor Tree of 6160:...
see the above attachment ↑ ...
• All the prime numbers that are used to divide in the Prime Factor Tree are the Prime Factors of 6160... See here:
- 6160 ÷ 2 = 3080
- 3080 ÷ 2 = 1540
- 1540 ÷ 2 = 770
- 770 ÷ 2 = 385
- 385 ÷ 5 = 77
- 77 ÷ 7 = 11
- 11 ÷ 11 = 1
All the prime numbers you used to divide above are the Prime Factors of 6160. Thus, the Prime Factors of 6160 are:
2, 2, 2, 2, 5, 7, 11.
